I use Wifi all the time. Laptop at home, and i keep the router under the bed. 1. How can i tell who is using the same Wifi network as me? 2. How do i change the Identification my computer uses while on the network? 3. Can i set it to change my ISP every time I log into the network? 4. How can I change the name of my Wifi network, as it would appear on my connection status box? The router is a Linksys, so naturally (I guess) it has 'Linksys' as the default name. I would like to change it to something cool, like 'Goofer' or 'Half-tard' Thanks. |
