Solve : Can I name my modem??

Answer»

Hello and thank you for looking at my question.

I have recently upgraded my modem to a Dlink, DVA-G3670B.

Does anyone know if I can actually name my modem instead of having the generic title displayed?

My other dlink modem was quite easy to rename, but this one is a little more complex.

I have searched through the menu from the website, the documents in the users guide and in the administration, setup and configurations area, but just haven't found the answer to my question anywhere yet.

Can someone guide me on this please?

Thank you ImnoGuru.Did you mean you want to rename the Station Identification?
So then, other people in your neighbor d would see
ImnoGuru
Instead of
D-Link
When they scan for wireless hot spots.

Look for the SSID box and you should be able to imput the name you want it to be Yes Geek-9pm, thats what I did to my other modem. REALLY so I could tell if I was logging on to my own modem actually.( but so that others will see my modem name too).

UNSCSpartan3 yep thats what I want to find SSID. I LOOKED through the user manual but there is no mention of it there ( eg how to rename the SSID).
Maybe I have to look a lot deeper at it then.The DVA-G3670B is a modem/router combo, according to http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/bc/hardware/?action=h_view&model_id=817. Doesn't your ISP provide a modem? If so, why did you buy a modem? Why not just buy a router to use with the modem provided by your ISP? did you go to the configeration page for the isp's modem??? or is it your modem that you are trying to rename the ssid for?I think ImnoGuru simply wants to be able to change the WAP ID name (the SSID thing).

@ImnoGuru, you may want to check out the user manual for your device. Hopefully it answers your question.Hi and thanks for the replies.
I just got back from my trip to Neptune. I'm SORRY I haven't had the opportunity to get back to my responses to my question.

I just had a quick look.

Yes 2x3i5x, that's what I want to do.

I want to name it "ImnoGuru's Modem" instead of DVA-G3670B.
And for the other part of your reply, I have downloaded the user manual but I just dont know what it is I'm looking for?
SSID may mean something but to me it means SSID. Thats because ImnoGuru.... hehehe. (sorry us old buggers gotta have a laugh once in a while.)

Thanks soybean, for the input too.

Why not just buy a router to use with the modem provided by your ISP?

See, thats the sort of thinking and QUESTIONS you might ask. Yes my ISP does and did provide a modem. Then I upgraded my account so that I can use the internet for phone calls via V.O.I.P. (Much cheaper for my calls). I used, http://bc.whirlpool.net.au to upgrade my account to a better plan.

So I bought a NEW modem/router? (the DVA xxxx) because it has 4 ports for cable connections and wireless connections for my laptops. Plus it has 2 phone line outputs for the V.O.I.P. , also it was cheaper buying it outside of the ISP company and their modem was not as good as this one.
I paid an extra $26.00 above what the ISP wanted for their crappy 1 cable V.O.I.P. and not wireless, for this one, and got all these other features added in. Cable connections X 4, wireless and V.O.I.P.

Lots of reading for me and the manual then. Thanks again. I'm looking for the SSID then and it should be in the configuration area of the manual.

Thanks heaps everyone. ImnoGuru.
