RAX40 SSID changed to "Netgear53" after firmware update
Tittle says it all. I had not used the router in a month. When I started it up, it wasn't connecting nor letting me access it. I performed a factory reset and that did the trick. I was able to change my admin password, but did not change the ssid nor the password for it. The app indicated that a firmware update was necessary. I downloaded it, but during its install, it started to flash red. That lasted for an hour. At which point I rebooted the router. It still was just flashing red. So I performed another fr. Everything looked great. Until I noticed that the SSID had been changed to NETGEAR53??? I noticed that there are other posts with the same problem and no relevant information to resolve this issue. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
