In this post, we are discussing and resolving issues related to Network naming in Windows 8. Since the roll out of Windows 8, people are switching to it as soon as they can.
When we reset our modem or install Mobile Partner devices, we see the network name changes to Network 2, Network 3, and so on..
Sometimes, this becomes annoying for users and they want it to be changed to default name "Network"
