Hello everyone,


I just bought this WiFi repeater and wanted to know if I could even use the same SSID name as my WiFi router, just for convenience ?

 

Thank you in advance

Hi @Bruno45Fr,

Thank you for contacting our community.

You can change wireless name of range extender to be the same as the router's. If your router supports Easymesh, you can also create an Easymesh network between the router and extender.

Best Regards~

Hi,

 

Yes, you can do that. If you have only one Wi-Fi router and one TP-Link Wi-Fi repeater that use the same SSID, then you will be fine.
