  • No the name has to be different at least by 1 character , Or you can make it for example:
    if the router name is XYZ then you can name the extender WiFi as XYZ_EXT
    same goes for the 5GHz band aswell

  • Thanks for sharing your query with us. yes, you can make same name of both networks but there will be confusion for you while connecting multiple devices to the network, So its a advice to keep different names for both networks.
    For any help feel free to call us back on 1-800-603-4024.
