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.
