Rename router after setup for MR60
I setup my router yesterday but it didn’t seem to work properly. So I’m trying again but I’m being asked to join Netgear49 and I’ve already renamed the router so it’s not finding the new router name. How can I get around this?

Try setting up the MR using a web browser on a PC or laptop.

What do you mean by "renamed the router"?
What is not finding the router name?
Netgear49 is probably the default SSID that the routers broadcasts. (Look on the label, which also has the wifi password.) That is not the same thing as the "name" of the router.
