Changing Network Name from basic "Network 1/2/3"?

[Attic]

Currently when I hover over my wired network connection in the taskbar on windows 7 I see, "Network 5" followed by "Internet Access" below it.

I've been through my router settings and haven't figured out how to change this "Network 5" to something like "Johnson Network". I'd like to set this up so that any device on the home network will have the same network name rather than "Network 2" "Network 3" or whatever each device happens to be at when it connects to the home network.


I have an EdgeRouter 3 Lite. The home network is a workgroup not a domain.

Three places that contribute to the Network System naming.

Most important is The LAN name.

1. The Default is Workgroup, if you want to change do it on all the computers that share the LAN.

See here:

2. The Wireless Network name is configured in the Wireless Router under the SSID name.

3. The Network contention (NIC connection name) can be changed here.
