Extender RE450 WIFI not getting detected
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have a main router Archer C80 and a Range Extender RE450. I have configured the extender to the main router and all the 3 lights are stable which means the configuration of extender is correct. But I am not able to detect the extender under the WIFI options in other devices such as mobile, TV, laptop, etc etc. This could be because both the main router and range extender has same name for both 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz bands. If so, how can i change the name of the extender WIFI so that the devices can show wifi connections of both router and extender ?
To change the wireless network name (SSID):
1. Go to Wireless > Extended Network.
2. Create a new SSID in Extended 2.4GHz SSID or click COPY HOST SSID. The value is
case-sensitive.
3. Click SAVE.
Note:
If you have changed the wireless settings via a wireless device, you will be disconnected after the settings are applied.
Please write down the new SSID for future use.
