Renaminng Host Router

I wish to rename the host router. Password and other information remains the same. What must I do, if anything, to the Range Extender to maintain a connection? N600 WiFi Range Extender

   Why?  Is there some actual problem which you are trying to solve?

   Which name?  The router itself?  The wireless network name (SSID)?
...?

> N600 WiFi Range Extender

   "N600" is a speed, not a model number.  Ever helpful, Netgear product
packaging emphasizes speeds like "N600", but that's not the model

identifier.

   To what is this "N600 WiFi Range Extender" connected?

Indeed, it is the SSID which I desire to change. 

No Problem with the current name; I merely wish to change it.

The Model is WIN2500RP

The Host Router is a D-Link DIR 825. This should not be an issue.

   WN2500RP?  WN2500RPv2?

   Page 16, "Extender Wireless Settings":

      You can use the Wireless Settings screen to change the network
      name (SSID) for the extender's network and to set up wireless
      security.  [...]
