Why can't Windows connect to a custom network name?

We just bought the SBG8300 modem. I changed the network name from the factory setting of SBGnnnnnn to a custom network name and pw which is easier to remember and type in. My Mac connected to it with no problem, but the two PCs in the house always rejected the password. We finally had to select the secondary (guest) network with the unchanged network name and password.   Why can’t the Windows computers connect to our custom-named network?

2.4 GHz keeps dropping on SBG8300

I tried switching to manual selection of 1,6 or 11 and all of them are not stable either.I moved many of wifi appliances to 5 GHz (which is very stable) as I thought there were too many appliances on 2.4 GHz.  It helped for couple of weeks, but now it started dropping again.Is there limit to how many appliance I can connect to 2.4 GHz?

When trying to setup a Forwarded Port in the Router Gateway Application (login successful and all services functioning and identified), I choose connected device from the “Select a device to add IPv4 and IPv6 address” button… the fields are populated automatically by the Router program, and then I enter the port number in the start and end port boxes, then hit Save…An Alert popup box appears with “Please use only alphanumeric characters”.Even if I populate the boxes with manual keyboard entry, I receive the same result.I have tried to use the mobile phone web GUI version of the Router Gateway, and receive the same result as I have described above (using the Computer CPU to add the new Port Forward service.HELP?!

Issues to login to http://192.168.100.1 after bridge mode is enabled by accident on SBG8330 Router

I have SBG8300  router from my ISP.  I generally login to their router page to enable wi-fi ( normally it is in disabled mode). By mistake I clicked  Bridge mode button though I don’t even know what the bridge mode is.  Now I can’t login to the http://192.168.100.1 at all.   The browser URL shows https://192.168.100.1/wizard_step1.php  and runs for ever.  How will I be able to login to router settings.  I appreciate any help. internet is working normally. But whatsapp message refresh is taking forever saying  “Wiating for this message. This may take  a while Learn More “ .

My SBG8300 Ethernet ports stopped working after I put it in bridgemode

I own an SBG8300 but recently bought a new router that provided better Wi-Fi coverage so I put it in bridge mode so I wouldn’t have two Wi-Fi signals broadcasting.  When I did that however, I noticed that the ethernet ports stopped working.  When I disabled bridge mode from the SBG8300 the ethernet ports started working again.  Does anyone know of a work around for this?
