Hi, Welcome to the community.

Can you constantly reproduce this issue? Or Did it only happen once for now?

Was the WiFi SSID on the Deco APP changed as well?

-If it happens again, Could you please refer to this link to help me save a copy of the web UI system log:Deco web interface login

(Please save the log before restarting or resetting Deco and you could forward the log to support.forum@tp-link.com with subject forum ID#746960)

 

By the way, What is this "default name" here?

Wait for your reply and best regards.

Hello  @David-TP 

Please see my response in below in Bold

 

Can you constantly reproduce this issue? Or Did it only happen once for now?

This issue happens everytime i change and save the SSID, it remains under the new SSID for about 30 secs and then changes back to the name Deco

 

Was the WiFi SSID on the Deco APP changed as well?

The SSID changed in the APP as well as in the available list of wifi network

 

-If it happens again, Could you please refer to this link to help me save a copy of the web UI system log:Deco web interface login

(Please save the log before restarting or resetting Deco and you could forward the log to support.forum@tp-link.com with subject forum ID#746960)

I will do this once i get back to home, probably in about  5 hours from now

 

By the way, What is this "default name" here?

Default name is Deco

 

Regards,

Madhu

Hi, Thanks for the reply.

Do you still have the same issue?

If yes, please remember to help me save the APP log.

By the way, if you can record a video clip of this issue, it would be very helpful.

"This issue happens everytime i change and save the SSID, it remains under the new SSID for about 30 secs and then changes back to the name Deco"

best regards.

  Update:

The IP4 Connection had the internet connection type as PPPoE, whereas as IP6 had the IP settings as Dynamic which prompted this reset of SSID.

Issue resolved after I replicated the IP6 settings the same as IP4. 

 

Thanks David for trying to help me out
