Enable Or Disable The One Wifi Name Feature - NETGEAR EAX80 User Manual

Enable or disable the One WiFi Name
feature
The One WiFi Name feature enables your extender to use the same WiFi network settings
as your router.
If you enabled the One WiFi Name feature, your extender uses the same WiFi network
name and password as your router.
The following is an example of what your WiFi network names might look like if One
WiFi Name is enabled:
Table 2. One WiFi network names
Router or Extender WiFi Network Name

Router 5 GHz WiFi network name

Extender 5 GHz WiFi network name
Note: If you enable the One WiFi Name feature and your router's 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
networks use different network names, you cannot enable the Smart Connect feature.

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
extender network.
