Model: TL-WA854RE  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi.

I have 2 range extenders on my home WiFi, both TL-WA854RE and look identical on my Tether app. I can't see a way to rename them, which would be really handy to distinguish which is which. Anyone know if I can do this somehow?  Thank you.

Hi,

 

The look of the GUI of the Tether app depends a bit on the actual product model, but I would think it should be similar to my RE305.

 

Tap on the pictogram that resembles your TL-WA854RE and in the screen that opens tap on the name of the device. For some models there will be an "Edit" button next to the name.
