How to change a network designation from Public to Private

I recently had to replace my router establishing a new network for my home system..  Now, I find that this new network has currently been classified by the Network Inspector scan as a Public Network.  How do I change it's designation to a Private Network?

Hi Gloria,

We're glad to help you with the info.
You'll able to add/modify the trusted/untrusted networks through AVG Firewall settings.
We believe that this article will help you to get started with Network inspector.

I have this problem.  My network is set to 'Trusted' but AVG still treats it as Public and blocking it.
If I disable AVG and then set up or select a mapped disc drive folder the network connects, AVG can then be re enabled and all runs fine until the PCs are switched on the following day. The logs are MULTICAST Public and  PublicTop/UDP In Block,
