Step-by-step instructions for changing your Wi-Fi name

Once you have logged into your control panel, follow these steps:

1. Go to the section Wireless (Wireless network) or Wi-Fi SettingsOn routers Beltelecom this is usually:
   • For Huawei HG8245H: Network → WLAN → Basic
   • For Sercomm RV6699: Home Network → Wireless
   • For ZTE F660: Network → WLAN → SSID Settings
• Find the field SSID Name (or simply Name). This is the current network name.
• Delete the old name and enter a new one (according to the rules from the previous section).
• Scroll down the page and click Save or Apply.
• Wait for the router to reboot (usually takes 1-2 minutes).

If you have dual-band router (supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), you'll have to change the name for each network separately. Often, providers configure them with the same SSID but different suffixes (for example, MyWiFi And MyWiFi_5G). You can make them the same or give them different names for convenience.

After saving the settings, the router will reboot and all devices will be disconnected from the network. You'll need to reconnect by selecting the new Wi-Fi name from the list of available networks.

Common mistakes and how to avoid them

Even with such a simple procedure, users often make mistakes. Here are the most common ones:

• 📡 Conflict with neighboring networks: If you have chosen a name that is already in use nearby (e.g. TP-Link_123), connection problems may occur.

Another common problem: after changing the Wi-Fi name, the internet connection disappears. This happens if:

• The router did not reboot correctly (try unplugging it from the power outlet for 30 seconds).
• Security settings are corrupted (check the section Security in the control panel).
• The provider blocks changes (relevant for rented equipment).

⚠️ Attention: If after changing the SSID the Internet is not restored within 5 minutes, check if the settings have been reset. VLAN or PPPoE (this is relevant for GPON terminals). In this case, it's better to call support. Beltelecom and clarify the connection parameters.

Additional Wi-Fi settings for optimization

In addition to changing the network name, it's worth paying attention to other parameters that will improve Wi-Fi performance:

• 🔐 Security type: Install WPA2-PSK or WPA3-PSK (don't use outdated WEP).
• 📶 Wi-Fi channel: If the network is slow, try manually selecting a channel (for example, 6 or 11 for 2.4 GHz).
• 🔄 Channel width: For 5 GHz you can set 80 MHz for maximum speed (if your devices support it).
• 👥 Guest network: Create a separate network for guests with limited access to local devices.
• ⏱️ Wi-Fi schedule: You can set the network to turn off automatically at night (useful for saving energy).
