i assume you mean a TG585v7 from Plusnet.
I don't have one so this is a bit of a guess
1 Open the web link to the router http://192.168.1.254
2 Under Home Network, click Wireless.
3 The Wireless Access Point page appears.
4 In the Navigation Bar, click Configure.
5 Under Security there may be an option to change the name but not having this router I am not sure
Edit - this is for a different model but may help http://www.speedtouch.net.nz/580WirelessSetup.htm
P.S. The reason you can see it when broadcast name is unticked is probably because your computer is already aware of it so doesn't need to have it broadcast

edit -Hiding the SSID does nothing to improve security - WPA encryption (preferrably WPA2) handles that a million times more effectively than hiding the SSID (or MAC filtering)

If you change the name of the SSID you will need to enable SSID broadcast then connect to the new SSID. You can then disable it again.
You may also need to remove the older one from your computer.
You should make the changes while connected by wire to the router.
