11How To Rename The Network Card In Windows 11 [Tutorial]
Windows 11 lets you change the name of a Wi-Fi or Ethernet network adapter from within the Settings app without the need to use Control Panel. Although Windows 11 can automatically assign a name to a network adapter based on the type (Wi-Fi or Ethernet), you may sometimes need to change the name manually to specify something different.
By default, Windows assigns generic names to all your network adapters. However, if you find those names confusing, you can always change them later.
Giving your network adapters descriptive names makes it easier to identify them. Here we show you six different ways to rename a network adapter on Windows 11.
In previous versions of the OS, if you needed to change the adapter’s name, you had to use Control Panel, but now the functionality is built inside the Settings app.
