Model: TL-WA901ND  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: V3.1

I need to use my device as range externder.

I need to extend a wireless network to another name with static IP (DHCP disabled) (Extend "Wifi 1" to "Wifi 2").

I extend the network using the wizard until the end.

Then I login again and change the SSID;

The issue is when i change the SSID, this change also the SSID of the extended network.

Can anyone help me on how doing this?

Hello, the TL-WA901ND will share the same network name and password as the main router in range extender mode. In other word, we cannot rename the wireless network. 

 

Below is the instruction to set it up as the range extender.
