Configure a TP-Link router

By default, the TP-Link router Wi-Fi names (SSID) for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands are the same. To distinguish the SSIDs for the two bands, follow these steps:

  1. In the lower-right corner of the page, click Setting.
  2. Click Wireless .
  3. In the 2.4G Wireless area, set SSID to (XXX)-2.4G , where xxx indicates the Wi-Fi name. Saving setting.
  4. In the 5G Wireless area, set SSID to (XXX)-5G , where xxx indicates the Wi-Fi name. Saving setting.

 

When the preceding settings are complete, the new Wi-Fi names will Appear on the Wi-Fi settings page of your mobile phone.

Note: After the Wi-Fi names are changed, you need to reconnect the devices that use this wireless router. The password remains the same if it has not been changed.
