Can't Change LAN Name

Woodyfin

When I set up my new Wifi Pro system I used a temporary network name "xxx-test".  Once setup and old LAN/WAN removed, I gave the WiFi Pro system the same SSIDs/PWs as the system I replaced.  My annoyance is that computers connected to the LAN via ethernet cables still show as attached to "xxx-test" network.  How can I change the hardwire LAN name to agree with everything else?  I can't find any settings in the app that are for the LAN name.  Router/Point device names are not the cause either since I changed their device names to ID their locations.  I also rebooted my network ethernet switches in case that old name had been cached.

Obviously this is just an annoyance since the new system works fine. So far none of my ethernet devices seem to care what the network name is and the new system is otherwise fantastic.

Are we talking about windows? If so look for how to rename a saved network on your edition of windows, it has nothing to do with your router

Thanks everyone.  @Spaghetti69 was right.  It's a windows setting and I was able to confirm that with a laptop that had not yet been connected to my new WiFi pro. Thanks again.
