$ route -n add 10.0.0.0/24 10.0.0.1īut if you are on a Linux system you will have to use the following command to do the same: $ route -n add -net 10.0.0.0/24 gw 10.0.0.1 In OS X, to specify a route for network 10.0.0.0/24 to be routed to gateway 10.0.0.1 you use the following command. Adding a routeįor adding a route to the routing table Linux as well as OS X use the route command, but be aware that even here there are differences. When executed on Linux it will show the same output as the route command. The netstat command is used to show more then just the routing table and is also available on Linux. The option “-r” tell netstat to show the routing table and the “-n” option as with the “route” command avoids DNS resolution.

The output of the netstat command on Mac OS X is very similar to the output you are used to from Linux.

To get a similar list of active routing entries as on Linux the following command has to be executed: $ netstat -rn The missing word “show” gives the hint that the route command will not show us the routes as we are used to from Linux. The Linux man pages show you this description for the command: route - show / manipulate the IP routing tableīut the OS X man page will only show this in the description: route - manually manipulate the routing tables If you open the man page of “route” on a Linux system and then on OS X you will immediately see the following difference. This can make the output of the routes much faster.īut when you switch over to OS X you will notice that the command “route” exists but work differently. I like to add the “-n” parameter to not resolve the IP addresses to names. I was used to the way you show them in Linux with the following command: $ route -n It’s about the way you read out the routes you currently have active. One of these differences I came across recently. If Network has been used before by a different router, then it shows Network 2.When working with Linux you get used to the way Linux does things, but when you switch from Linux to Mac OS X you notice that some things are handled differently.

When a PC connects to wired network of a router at first, it will use Network as its Local Area Connection‘s network name automatically, no matter what wireless network name the router has. So it will use the 2.4GHz wireless network name it saved before as its Local Area Connection’s Network Name. Then the PC connects to wired network of the same router, the PC recognizes the wired Mac address and wireless 2.4GHz’s Mac address are same, then the PC will consider it is connected to the same network as before. When the PC first connects to a 2.4GHz wireless network, it will use the SSID( wireless network name) of the 2.4GHz wireless network as its Network Name. Then it will create a Network Name for this Network.

When a PC first connect to a new network, Windows will ask you to choose a Network Type, such as Public Network, Work Network and Home Network. Why does the wired network connection show wireless network name?

Here are the steps (here take windows 7 as an example): Will this matter affect normal functions of your PC?įirst, we want to claim that it won’t affect the internet connection or other functions of your PC, and if you don’t like the name, you can change it to whatever you like. You may wonder whether this will affect normal functions of your PC and why the wired network connection shows wireless network name of TP-Link router. In some special cases you will find that your PC’s Local Area Connection/Ethernet shows TP-link router’s wireless network name, such as below The wired Mac address and 2.4GHz wireless Mac address of TP-Link routers are the same, but the wired Mac address and 5GHz wireless Mac address of TP-link routers are different. There is one more thing you need to know before you read this article ： Note: This article is not relevant to you if your PC is connected 5GHz wireless of TP-Link routers at the first time.
