    However, this has nothing to do with the problem you mention. In all likelihood, you need to delete the old saved password in your browser, so that it will ask to save it again next time.
    I searched my registry and could not find "Network 2". When I changed my router the same thing happened to me as did Grumpybear2000, except I can change/save password for router. I don't care that my home network name changed. Everything works.

    Note that there are two spaces between "Network" and the number. The following tutorial explains how to do this in a simple way.

    Why the hell would there be two spaces?

    I decided to do the registry fix. I searched for "Network 2" and renamed them all to "Network". I deleted all of the old corresponding mentions of "Network" also. Rebooted and everything seems fine.

    I wonder if doing a left-click on the house and changing the name does the same thing as editing the registry? Probably would not get rid of the old "Network" entries. I might try changing the name to see what changes it makes.

    P.S. I had tried to right-click the house icon when I first wanted to change the name, but that doesn't do a thing.

    I wish someone would tell me the reason why it makes a difference whether it is network 1 or 2 or 5??

    My house is pretty much wired in every room, reasons to eliminate the stress on wifi, or lack of dependability of connection

    So i just did a test and unplugged one of my connections in the modem/router, and yet it changed from say network 4 from 5?? So what did that change??

    Nothing on my setup??

    My internal mock server still sees what i want it to see (some pc's and other stuff i have turned off to be found in the network)...

    Can someone try to explain what disadvantage it has on that number?? Really i don't understand what difference that makes??

    As i said, i have burnt out or blown up tons of Modem/Routers from my ISP. I just go pick up another and they barcode it in to activate the new one, i bring

    it home, go into the modem/router (192.154.0 etc.), make the same pretty much settings and it works??

    Again the interests is for the future??

    I think Grumpybear thought that changing the network name would fix his password issue, and maybe it did. He didn't say.

    The name doesn't matter, but a simpler name can make things less confusing for those that have complex setups. For those people that just set it and forget it (like you shaina), it's of no concern.

    Like Anon said, when changing the modem/router the MAC address will be new which will cause Windows to create a new network name (adding or increasing a numeral to the existing network name, if it's not deleted beforehand). That may cause problems with existing hardware configurations.

    Like what MacGyver?? That is where i am confused?? I even have switches in the house and none of those fucked up on all the Modem/Router changes??

    I would assume today that everyone for security , makes up there own keys/password for there network or internet access??

    I assume that the mac address is a fingerprint to the modem/router, but the IP address is linked to the ISP provider no??

    I am not trying to be a smart ass in any way buddy, GB really just changed his modem/router right?? So if he went into it and changed the keys, to what he

    had before, would that not keep everything the same?? Does Windows really care what number it is?? Or better yet any program that needs or access the

    internet??

    I know that i still use a program that uses Java, and it pops up that i have to give it permission to access, my internal network?? but it doesn't ask for a

    password or anything??

    EG... If i am using WIFI, it shows a bunch of different networks in my area and shows a lock right?? But if i change the settings in the new modem/ router to

    the same keys, it just locks on to it because i saved it on everything that access the network or internet??

    I just find it weird, that's all....


    Edit: I should say that every night my ISP sends updates to all the equipment that i have from them, and sometimes when it has rebooted, i had to

    unplug and reboot a switch, but never did i have to worry about passwords or anything???

    Edit 2: Oh shit!!! I get it now!!! Yes i do change the keys and the name to what i want!! Not the one that comes installed/default on the modem/router!!

    The number they give you or the name /and password is retarded and harder to remember if i want to add anything to the network....I assume i am now

    on the right track, if he never changed any of that , now he has to use the default ones that came with the other modem/router!!
