Why is Windows 7 Showing My Old SSID For WiFi And Not Gateway Name?
« on: August 05, 2010, 03:48:55 PM »
I recently updated to FW 1.34 and using Windows 7.

Since I'm connected through wired, shouldn't Windows 7 show my router's Gateway Name and not my old WiFi SSID?

Flush DNS on your PC.

1.On your local machine, open a command prompt.
2.Within the prompt, type ipconfig /flushdns.

No. Now just delete the old network connection and create a new one.

Just leave it like this. If you don't know what you're doing you might create more problems than this visual issue.
