Network name on windows

hey,
i recently got myself an archer ax53 and im connected via lan cable
ik its just a cosmetic problem but my internet connection is simply called "network" when i inspect it..
any idea how to change that? is that even related to the router settings or its a windows thing
btw when i initially set up my router i used 192.168.1.1 and it worked just fine, now it seems like that doesnt work and only 192.168.0.1 works instead, weirdly enough
idk if that makes a difference but feel free to tell me if it does..
Just an additional note.
It seems in Windows 10 (maybe also 8 and 11?) Microsoft has removed the "easy" way to rename a network.
But in case your Windows 10 is the Professional version (or I guess anything higher than the Home version should do as well), then another way to change the network name is via the Group Policy Editor that can be started by invoking "gpedit.msc". Once there just do like illustrated in the screenshot below.
