Hello, I have 2 different router, both is plugged in to same slot using lan cable. I switch between them.
I’m trying to give these router different name.
In windows, you do this: How to change network names on Windows 10 - gHacks Tech News
Normally, in windows, there will be different network profile for these router. I can easily name them and change their settings independently. Besides changing name, I can also enable Metered connection to only one router.
But in here, both are using the same profile. If I add new profile, I still need to manually switch between them.
I assume linux can also tell the difference between these two router since they will say different speed?
One router says “Connected - 100 Mb/s” while the other says “Connected - 1000Mb/s”

these are the inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width output.

hmm I’m not sure what other information I can provide as it’s not an error but a question on how to do stuff.
What I wanted to do is making so that if I connect different router or internet to my pc through the same LAN port, I can tell, which router I’m connected to. Like have different name or different network profile.
But in here it’s always use the same profile, and same name, same mac address, always A8:A1:59:84:EA:69 (enp8s0) regardless of which router I’m connected to. So I can’t tell which router I’m connected to without looking at the back of my PC and see which cable is plugged.
Welcome to Manjaro! 
to give us more information so we can see what’s really going on.
