Seperate SSIDs for Satellites?
Is there anyway to assign a satellite a seperate SSID?
The Orbi mesh system defines the same SSIDs for the primary WiFi network (for 2.4G and 5G channels) and if they are enabled, the same SSIDs for the Guest and IoT WiFi networks (for 2.4G and 5G channels).
This cannot be changed by the user.
Sorry.
A typical WiFi Extender (of any brand) can be set up with whatever SSID you want.
Hello drdre892001 ,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
The SSID is broadcasted from the router and extended to the satellites. It is not possible to change the SSID for individual satellites without changing the SSID for your network.
Best,
