Rename SSID from OpenWrt?

Post by Carlos »

Really love your Gargoyle product. Have two of your routers purchased from your website. One in the house and one in use about 200' away in the shop on a separate modem. How do I rename one of them so that in my wifi drop down menu I can select the one I need to use? Currently I constantly have to "forget the network" to be able to select the right OpenWrt to be in use in the right location. I have been able to change the Device Name but the wifi drop down on both routers continue to be called OpenWrt. Many thanks for your help- Carlos

You can change the wifi network name under the Connection -> Basic screen. If your devices are dual band, make sure you change both the 2.4 and 5GHz names.

Hope that helps.
