Hello@Scotti ,

Welcome to our community.

 

Do you mean you have renamed the device? 

Please note that this is a name change for the Powerline unit, not the wireless network name (SSID).
To change the wireless name, go to the wireless settings, modify it, and then save the changes. Your phone should then recognize the new SSID.

For more details, please refer to tpPLC Utility_User Guide.

 

Best Regards.

Hi,

 

That is correct. The name of the device and the Wi-Fi names (i.e. SSID) separate parameters that can be modified by the user independently.
