Hello,
On the ActionTec extender, I am trying to disable the SSID rename so that I can have dedicated SSIDs in portions of my house.
On the FAQ for the network extender, it states below. Notice the underlined/bolded part in the response. How can I do this? The link it mentions says nothing about performing this action. It used to work but now its always auto-renaming my networks. Is this a setting on the main gateway router, or a setting on the extender itself? I've been able to log into the extender, but there are no obvious named settings that prevent this from happening:
Why does the sticker have Wi-Fi names and a password when it’s supposed to replicate the Wi-Fi name and password from my router?
All Fios Network Extenders support dual band Wi-Fi networks (2.4GHz & 5GHz) with its own default Wi-Fi Names and password. When the Fios Network Extender is connected to your home or business network, the extender receives the Wi-Fi names from your router and replaces its default Wi-Fi Names with those of the router. If you choose not to have your Fios Network Extender replicate the router Wi-Fi Names, you can disable this feature and use the Wi-Fi name and password printed on the Wi-Fi extender sticker. Please refer to the User Guide found at verizon.com/fiosnetworkextender for instructions on disabling this feature.
