Before starting with the steps, we recommend you to explore
all the steps in details first, then implement them on your device. These steps
are not meant for Comcast supported modems and Comcast supported routers. If
you are using the Comcast network and device, then only you will be able to
change the network name and password.
Today, we are going to explain the stepwise instructions to
change the name of Comcast network which sometimes called SSID and the password
of your network. You need to login to the admin toll from the Xfinity gateway
or router.
