Off hand if you are seeing BOTH the old name and new name for the router, just how and where are you seeing this? What 'program'? What OS?
If you see 2 different SSID's, and the one with 5G is the one you are questioning, that is the GUEST SSID I believe.
Password the same? Are you using SMART CONNECT?
Sort of sounds like changing the NAME of the router forced some other settings changes you didn't have before to me?
What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
Are you sure you changed both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz radios? Walk thru the set up wizard and it will help you set up and change the wireless SSID names of the WIRELESS. Not modems. You can manually change the SSID names as well.
Any other neighbors with a Netgear router near by?
