Droid 6 is home - other half is in the Police and he says he's a 'Droid' and all he does is collect data for download and process to the required standard.

Droid_6_Mobile is my MiFi

and PIE!!! Is my sisters SSID (Pie as in Weebl and Bob). It used to be called Moby, but we changed it when we upgraded to an Airport Express base station.

I would change our router name (at the moment it's called something like 'TalkTalkac564') but I can't work out how to change it...

Enter the IP address of your router into a web browser. It's usually 192.168.0.1 It will ask for a login name and password. You'll need to check your ISP documentation if you don't know what it is. Then look for the SSID and change it to whatever you want. Your wirelessly connected devices will lose the connection to the router as the original SSID will have disappeared. You just need to locate the new SSID, enter your router password again and voila.

One guy had a network called nacholibre but I must not be able to pick up his signal from my kitchen. Mine is called AppleJACKS, funny name IMO. :D

Sometimes its 192.168.1.1 as well, I'm pretty sure that's what Linksys uses.
