Solution EasyMesh Supported Range Extenders Automatically Synchronize the Router SSID in Certain Cases
This Article Applies to:
RE550_V1
RE305_V4
Issue Description/Phenomenon:
Under certain situations, after upgrading range extenders to the firmware that supports EasyMesh, users might find the Wi-Fi SSID of the extender would automatically synchronize with the router that also supports EasyMesh even though EasyMesh has been disabled on the extender. After manually changing the extender's SSID, it returns to the same name as the main router after a few seconds.
Solutions:
This issue is expected to be fixed in the upcoming official release. Currently, it is suggested to install the following beta firmware if you would like to have a separate Wi-Fi name apart from the host router.

If your model is not included, please comment below with the model number of your range extender and the main Wi-Fi router. We could report to the engineers to request a similar firmware if the issue could be confirmed.
During the time of waiting for the beta firmware, you could also downgrade to the previous firmware which does not support EasyMesh as a temporary workaround.
Note:
1. Please be sure you have read the Terms and Conditions for TP-Link Beta Firmware before proceeding!
