Changing the Name of the Radio Network (SSID)
You can change the name of the FRITZ!Repeater's radio network (SSID). The name is displayed on wireless devices in the list of available radio networks.
Example
The FRITZ!Repeater has the same SSID as your internet router (FRITZ!Box), but you would specifically like to select the Wi-Fi network of the FRITZ!Repeater on a wireless device.
Rules
If the FRITZ!Repeater has an SSID different from your internet router, no roaming is possible. A wireless device that is moved in the home cannot switch automatically between the Wi-Fi networks of FRITZ!Powerline and the internet router.
Instructions: Changing the Name of the Wi-Fi Network (SSID)
- Enable the "Wi-Fi network enabled" checkbox.
- Enter a name for the Wi-Fi network. This name is displayed on wireless devices (for instance, computers, smartphones) and can have a maximum length of 32 characters.
- and then click "Apply".
The Setting "Name of the Wi-Fi network visible"
If you disable the checkbox, wireless devices will no longer find the Wi-Fi network. In order to establish a Wi-Fi connection with the FRITZ!Repeater, you cannot then simply select the Wi-Fi network on the wireless device, but have to enter the SSID by hand.
