Unable to change all network names for my tri-band router

It started out with three default network names:

 

NETGEAR95

NETGEAR95-5G-1

NETGEAR95-5G-2

 

The NETGEAR95 is for the 2.4.  No matter what I do, there is no way for me to modify the name of NETGEAR95-5G-1.  When I log on to the Netgear Genie via the desktop app or the mobile app when logged on to any one of the three networks, I am only able to modify the names of NETGEAR95 and NETGEAR95-5G-2.  It is seriously annoying.

 

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

  • The web interface had it.  Thank you.  I no longer need assistance.

    You could try the web interface. The genies aren't always the best ways to manage a device.

      I tried the web interface, routerlogin.net, as well.

        Hi deepspace9,

         

        You should be able to change the name using the web UI.
