If someone else had it, I’d factory reset it to clear out any of their old settings and then install it again

What name is it? 

Are you talking the name on a hardwired device in windows? Or the ssid name?

You still don’t say where you’re seeing this. 

Is it the ssid? 

Is it the hardwired connections within windows? 

Whats telling you this? 

Just saying “the name is the same” tells us nothing on whats saying that and we can’t help you fix it off minimal info.

its how windows decided to name it. You can change it through windows. Its nothing you change on the router.

Looks like Cipriano could be the Wi-Fi name based on the bottom pic.  Try this link below to change the Wi-Fi name.
