RE220 - After firmware upgrade not possible to change extended network name
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello,
after upggrading the firmware of my AC750 Mesh Wi-Fi Extender RE220 to 1.0.23 Build 230418 Rel. 60395n I can't update anymore the name of the extended network anymore: before FW upgrade I setup the extended network name to be the original network name plux _EXT, now it takes automatically the main network name and if I try to change it from the app, it gets overwirtten after a couple of seconds with main network name.
main router does not support Mesch feature.
Firmware issue?
Any idea?
It is still possible that ZTE may have added support for EasyMesh via a firmware update.
You can easily find out if this is the case when you log into the RE220, click on "Quick Setup" and go through it to the point where the RE220 scans for nearby networks. If you see an "EasyMesh" label next to the SSID of your ZTE router's Wi-Fi, then it means the ZTE router supports EasyMesh.
Ok.
I would still test whether it makes any difference if the "EasyMesh" option of the RE220 is switched off via the menu shown below, just in case the RE220 somehow thinks the router supports Mesh when it doesn't.
If that doesn't help, then I think you can only solve this for now by downgrading to the previous firmware version. And hope that a future firmware version includes a fix.
