Old network name continues to display as available on WN2000rpt v2

After swapping out routers, I can't get extender network to show as available. Old network continues to display as available.

 

I have set the extender up more than once before so I do know how to do it. This time it doesn't seem to work.

  • Does all WiFi clients detect the old SSID or just one WiFi client? Maybe you just need to delete the save profile on your WiFi client. You can use inSSIDer as well to view the WiFi networks available. It's a great tool to use to really know if the new SSID is not available. And yes, you can factory reset the extender as per FURRYe38 's suggestion.
