Changeing Connection Names in Speedify on Windows PC

This article explains how to rename your network connections on a Windows PC so they show up with your chosen names inside Speedify.

How Connection Names Work in Speedify

Speedify displays connection names exactly as Windows labels them. If Windows has assigned a generic or confusing name to one of your connections (like "Ethernet 3" or "Local Area Connection 7"), that same name will appear in Speedify. The fix is to rename the connection directly in Windows, Speedify will pick up the updated name the next time you restart it.

Let's Get Started

Step 1

Open Windows Settings and click on Network & Internet. Then click Advanced network settings.

Restart Speedify. Your connection should now appear in Speedify with the new name you set in Windows.

Note: At this time, renaming connections from within Speedify is not possible on macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android.
