rename SSID / network name

Hello everybody, to avoid extra work with installing a new set of ORBI's.

Can I rename the ORBI SSID to my current network name?

This because of home automation and heating and other appliances attachted to the current networksettings.

 

Thanks!

  • Yes, you can rename the SSID just like on any router. Your post confuses me a bit though do you already have an orbi router and are installing another one - the orbi is only meant to function with a single Orbi router and some Orbi satellites with no other routers in the mix.
