Changing the network name

I just replaced my router and it has a new network name.  I connected the EX6100 to the new router following the WPS procedure.  The EX6100 is still showing on my devices with the old network name.  How do I change it to the new network name?  Do I have to do a factory reset and start from scratch?  Thanks. The instruction booklet is rather lacking in this regard...

    Try factory resetting the extender (push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds). 

    the install it using the installation assistant.
