I have a router named DEF, it was previously named ABC Everything else is working on all devices connected both Wi-Fi and ethernet to DEF. However one of my desktops still thinks it's connected to ABC and it's Ethernet network connection says that ABC is the name of the network. ABC just should not exist anymore, only DEF. And in fact I have internet but when I go to my router to check on all connected devices, my desktop Mac address does not show up even though I can confirm my desktop has internet..... How can I fix this? I have tried IPconfig /release IPconfig /renew But my desktop still is connected to ABC.

I noticed you didn’t include the network name after the release command, but I assumed it was implied by default. It seems unrelated to the router since all other devices in my home now recognize the network as DEF instead of ABC. I’m fairly sure the driver on my desktop is current. I’ll attempt using the release command with the network followed, but I really don’t see much chance.

Reset network settings using netsh commands. Enable chimney, autotune level, supplemental features, DCA, netdma, and ECN. Renew IP address and clear DNS. Add firewall rule to block throttling. Reboot after 5 seconds.
