For the Range Extender product, you can give it a different network name, but not the password, the password must be the same as the router.

Your password restriction is SUPER weak, btw. 15 characters? No spaces? Really?

@Kevin_Z thanks for the info but can I hide my wifi range extender _EXT so it won't be visible to others?
