Changing the Extended Network Names and Passwords
1. Go to Extended Network > Network Settings.
2. Scroll down. Here you’ll find information for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz extended networks. From
here you can change the Network name (SSID) and Password fields, as well as Security mode,
Channel and Channel width, for each extended network.
3. Click Save.
Note: Wi-Fi devices will disconnect from the extended network when the network name and password
are changed. To avoid interruptions in the connection when moving between the router’s Wi-Fi network
and the extended network, it’s recommended that the network names and passwords of both networks
match.
Turning Off the SSID Broadcast
You can turn off Broadcast network name (SSID) so that the name of the extended network won’t appear
in the list of available networks of nearby Wi-Fi devices. To connect to your network, others will have to
know the network name (SSID) and enter it manually into their Wi-Fi Settings along with the password.
1. Go to Extended Network > Network Settings.
2. Scroll down. Here you’ll find information for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz extended networks. Each
network has its own Broadcast network name (SSID) switch. Click each one to turn it Off.
3. Click Save.
Note: If the router is broadcasting the network name, it will still be detectable to other devices. Consult
your router’s user guide for information on turning off your router’s Broadcast network name (SSID)
setting.
