Using Deco with two homes that have the same SSID

2022-12-04 20:01:58

Model: Deco

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.2.5

I have upgraded both of my homes to the AEX5300 mesh systems. I really like the Deco app and it's ease of use. The one item I do not ike is when I go to change networks, both my homes are listed by SSID. Both homes have the same SSID and password to make going between the houses easy. Is there any way to label these houses instead of using the SSID? It would help to know when I switch networks, plus help to identify which network I am on when I bring up the app.

Hi, Thanks a lot for the feedback.

This request has been mentioned before, but so far network name changes altogether with SSID.

It is already planned to separate the network name from WiFi SSID later.

Currently, you could try to edit the Deco name to be something unique in order to identify the location.

Best regards.
