Change name for better security XAV 5421 - AV 500
Hi
I have a Powerline wifi extender with a default name NETGEAR_EXT that works ok
I understand this is not secure
I would like to rename the extender device with the same name as my router to provide a single reference point and make the access secure
Regards
Graham
