Use ORBI with existing SSID

Hi, 

There are no stupid questions.

You can go to the admin interface for the Orbit http://<your-ip>/ and to the Basic->Wireless Menu and update the SSID and password to your existing WiFi.

If you are replacing your router this should be all, if you are using the Orbi system as AP you might want to consider turning off your existing router WiFi.

Hi-

Stupid question, but I was anticipating default function for the Orbi would be to extend an exiting SSID versus have a new SSID.  I need to keep my existing SSID to avoid having to set up a number of devices to new SSID and also reconfiguring my wife's timemachine backup server.  Is there any way to set the Orbi up to extend the existing SSID?

 

Thanks!
