How to Rename Your Network Connections in Windows 11
3How to Rename Your Network Connections in Windows 11
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.
Windows 11 names networks automatically when they are discovered for the first time. Ethernet connections that connect using cables get generic network names, such as Network 4, which may be problematic for identification. Wireless networks get the SSID as the name by default; sometimes, you may want to change that name as well to improve identification.

Windows assigns a name to each network by default: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. While renaming the network doesn't change anything but its title, it could make it easier for you to identify the network. There are a few ways to change it if you prefer to locate your various network adapters by a custom name.
