Hi Renwar13,

This is because on the router wireless page the name of the network was changed.

Usually Linksys is the default name and the person who manages the wireless network would have changed to some other name so as to prevent un authorized access to the WLAN.Please check the right name of the signal and try.

did the repeater come with the main device. if it did not then you may have to configure it to accept the new name change (refer to the device manual if i came with one) since it may have been too well known to the old name. in networking names are very much important so i think you should try sticking to the same name and rather enscript the network with a password known to only you and those who use it that is if only you changed the name for security problems.
good luck

I am not quite clear if you want to change the Network Name or the broadcasted SSID (the information a wireless client can see).
I would change both, so a client or someone who wants to connect to your network can't see right away that you have a Belkin router.

First log into your router's web interface.
http://192.168.2.1(default), password "admin", username "admin" (als default) or follow the instructions on the screen, if you have never logged in before.

To change the network name, click on "LAN Settings" in the left pane.
Under "Local Domain Name", you can specify a personal name for your network. (I would always change the default "Belkin" so something else.)

To change the SSID, click "Chanel and SSID" also on the left pane a little bit further down. Here you can make changes to the wireless network name (SSID), operating channel, and encryption security settings.

Don't forget to save any changes you made!

If you need a manual, you can find that here.

If you have any more questions, just come back here and leave a comment - I'm happy to help.

The router works only if the network is unsecured.
When you secure the wireless network , make sure that you will change the wireless network name also. Because if you change the wireless security and if you keep the same network name then your computer will try to connect to the same network name with the old unsecured settings saved on the computer.
Try to change the SSID ( network name ) and security to WPA, check if that works.
If that doesn't work then I believe you will need to upgrade the FIRMWARE of the router.

The wireless network name is defined by the router (access point), not your individual wireless card (bridge). The manual for your wireless router will tell you how to change the name of your wireless network.

I'm not 100% sure this is what your looking for but you can change your real name and your network name in the settings menu.



This will bring up a settings page, from which you can change your real name and your network name by clicking on the networks tab.
