When you connect to a Ethernet or wired network for the first time, Windows automatically creates a
network profile and assigns generic names like Network 1, Network 2, etc. finally stores it on your
computer as a known network. A wireless network profile will use the SSID of the wireless network (ex:
router) . Some users and administrators may dislike the non-descriptive network connections names
and want to rename , delete or clear redundant network profiles (names). After Windows 7 , Microsoft
removed Netork Profile rename option therefore you will not find any option whatsoever in the
Settings app or Control Panel to change the network name. It is still possible to edit network profile
names to make them more descriptive but the only effective way to Rename or remove the connections in
Windows 11, Windows 10 and Windows 8 is by using the registry editor. (valid in all Windows versions)
You can check the current name in the Network and Sharing Center on Windows , press the Windows
+ R keys to open the Run dialog, type one of the following commands and press Enter.
