AX3600 MK83 - CAN I CHANGE THE SSID ON SATELLITE?
Hello.
This is my first post, first nighthawk, first mesh system.
My wife bought me an ax3600 mk83 mess system on Ebay used.
got the manuals online and while looking at the SSID'S, I noticed that one MS was a different SSID than the other MS and MR with match.
Is it possible to change the SSID on the errant MS?
Thank You

Thank you for your assistance.
Once you figured out from my incoherent ramblings, what I actually needed, you sent me this link: MR80 / MS80 Firmware Version 1.1.7.14 - NETGEAR Support
This was a site not visible to me at the online support. It was easier then.
The Zip files were the same: MR80-V1.1.7.14_3.1.109.zip and MS80-V1.1.7.14_3.1.109.zip I had but there was more information at: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/MK83.aspx#docs, where I could select the topic Troubleshooting and find at the top of page 2: the article labeled NETGEAR Connected Home Products FAQ. Now once in here I then found WiFi Routers and in the pull down menu found: How do I update the firmware on my NETGEAR router with a web browser?. This is where things began to click, and I could swear a new upload button appeared at the bottom! I know it didn’t, but I sure missed it 12 or 20 times.
Everything is up and working wonderfully including a guest account, wired units and wireless. We have optimum 500 Mbps / 20Mbps and Ookla is testing at 506 to 517 down and 20 plus up. I am verry happy. Thank you.
Now, were do I go to rate you 5 stars?

Try factory resetting it and re-syncing it (the satellite)
Yes, I tried but still does not recognize the ms with a different ssid. I can see it as a seperate wifi on devices in the house but not in the routers software.

How about sorting this out first:

Just another user with time on their hands.
