How can I connect to a particular device?
To hopefully fix a problem with my Sky box, I want to WiFi connect to the internet via a powerline extender, rather than direct to the router.
But I cannot see the network name of the new extender.
I already had one extender (for my PC) on which I copied the network settings using WPS. So I log on using the normal network login.
I added a new extender, expecting to see the SSID, which I could then connect my Sky box to.
But I don't see it, only the existing network name. So I don't know if my Sky box is connecting via the extender or not.
Any way to fix this please?
Hi,
These Wi-Fi Powerline adapters have a feature called "Wi-Fi Move", which is apparently enabled by default and "synchronizes" various settings between all the connected Wi-Fi Powerline adapters, including their SSID.
So I suggest you log into the WPA4220 whose network name you want to change (perhaps unplug the other WPA4220 temporarily, so you can be sure you are logging into the correct WPA4220), disable "Wi-Fi Move" and then go to the "Wireless -> Settings" menu and change the SSID to something unique. That way you can make sure your Sky box is connecting to that particular extender.
Below are the respective pages from the WPA4220's User Guide.
