Cisco network changed to Bennett-PC_Network

[alyshiaileighana]

Hello,
My friend connected her laptop to our wireless internet connection and the name has been changed from Cisco to Bennett-PC_Network. Our wifi never required a password and now it does, the password on the back of the router works fine and allows the laptop to connect but our ipods, iphones, kindles and Xbox cannot join the network. What happened?

Some one entered your network and set a password and changed the SSID in the process , maybe because you had not previouslly made those settings I'm not sure but you can go in a change it to what you want.
