Can Deco Networks have the same name?
2024-01-09 02:57:47
Model: Deco X55  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.4.1

I'd like to use the same SSID on 2 different networks. If I do this will the networks have the same name in the Deco app? Is this allowed? Is there a feature to have the network name be different from the SSID?

 

Any help with these questions is appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Hi, Are the 2 networks in the same place?

I remember during the setup, if there is already an SSID in the same location, Deco APP will suggest choosing a different name. But if you set the Deco up already, I think It should be fine.

But it would help if you could also give the main Deco units unique device names so that we could still identify the different networks.

How to change the device name of Deco

Thank you very much and best regards.

These are two seperate networks, about 74 miles apart.

 

It seems that tp-link uses the terms network and ssid interchangeably.  Is that true?  To me they are 2 very different items

tp-link decided to use the SSID of the main wifi to identify the mesh in the app.
