    I am having an issue with duplicate SSIDs.
    Here Is an example.

    When I made my first Network I called it ssid in lowercase letter, and then I decisive that one and made a network called SSID in capital letter.

    In the Network and Sharing centre in Windows 8 it appears as SSID-2 but when searching for the network on a different device it says SSID.

    Is there a way to delete Hosted Networks in Windows 8?

    If I remember correctly, that will require a registry tweak to remove the SSID names. I don't remember the exact tweak though, but I'm pretty sure you can find it on the web with minimal effort.
