This may seem like a minor issue, but it has caused me some confusion.
I am using an ethernet connection to access the internet on my desktop Win 11 PC. When I hover my cursor over the network icon in the system tray (lower right corner of my screen), it pops up this information:
MyWIFI-5G
internet access
This is obviously wrong since I am using an ethernet connection, so I'd like to change the description from MyWIFI-5G to something like MyEthernet.
The problem is that when I go to "Network and Sharing Center/Change adapter settings", the description of my ethernet connection is:
When I click on "Rename this connection" I am only given the opportunity to change the top descriptor, i.e., "Ethernet," which is correct. What I want to do is change the second line, "MyWIFI5-G," but I cannot find a way to accomplish this. Is there any way?
