Model: Archer AX55  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.5.10 Build 20251119 rel 50509

I am sitting with my PC and video calling device in between my SP router and the connected (AP mode) TP Link AX55. 
I am experiencing connectivity issues and the SP technician is telling me I should rename the network (SSID) of my TP Link to make sure I am connecting to the latter instead of to the SP modem. Now, connection is switching from SP model to TP Link and vice versa (hesitating), while the connection health is much better via the TP Link AX55. Both SSID's curently have the same name, so I am not getting the option to choose between both.
Can you tell me how I can rename the SSID of my TP Link? 
And can you confirm that I will then be able to enforce connection via the latter?

Here's how to change your wireless SSID via Tether app.

You can do that via router WebGUI in Advanced/=>Wireless settings

Keep in mind that if you want a separate SSID for 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, you have to turn off Smart Connect:

Can you please post a screenshot of the screen where it doesn't allow you to edit the SSID name?

Thank you for your reply. I can find the SSID name following your instructions. However, I don't seem to be able to edit it. What do I do to change the name?
I've been told that this will allow me to enforce connection to my TP link instead of my modem, while now, my device is moving from one to another causing connection dips.
