Hello,
Thanks for all the replies and apologies for the delay in responding.
I attach a screenshot of my phone.
A video of what I'm trying to do can be viewed at https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1w2ii3huau69h4r3ea7b7/IMG_8119.MOV?rlkey=d9om96xr1a6qbxdbb05xyhp1a&dl=0
Basically I feel locked out of my extender.
I setup "SKYELA123" and cant get into it.
I would rather the extender extended the "SKYA98F7" if this is possible.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Hello, many thanks for the prompt reply.
I pressed the button, until the lights went on and off.
I haven't changed the name in the router, how would I do this please?
Thanks again.
That one you'd have to look up the manual for your router and log in and change it through the router. The extender isn't going to change the routers name.
Thanks again for the reply.
I have a Sky router. Will I be able to change the name through the router, even though I don't have the extender password?
the router is independent of the extender. You can do whatever you want with it but after you do, then you'd need to reinstall the extender as it'll be connecting to the old ssid.
Ok thanks again.
Could I upload a video of what I'm trying to do? I'm concerned I'm not explaining it well.
