EX3110 Change the name of the extender to match my main wifi router

I have the Wifi Range extender model EX3110 and I need to change the name of the extender to match my main wifi router. How do I do this?

    the manual walks you through it. Basically log into the extender and then wireless settings.

    But i wouldn't set it with the same ssid as the router. Its not a mesh extender so devices won't roam like they would with a mesh extender. They'll tend to be stick and stay connected to the router/extender until the signal is pretty much useless. By having the same ssid, you can't just switch to the other network.
