Changing the name of the Wi-Fi network (SSID) of the FRITZ!Box

You can easily change the FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi network name and give your Wi-Fi a unique name. In the FRITZ! Mesh, the FRITZ!Box (Mesh Master) transmits the name for the Wi-Fi network to all Mesh Repeaters (for example FRITZ!Repeater).

When you change the Wi-Fi network name, note that you must then reconfigure the Wi-Fi connection on all of the wireless devices.

Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the FRITZ!Box 6820 LTE v2 and v3 with the latest FRITZ!OS, the FRITZ!Box 6820 LTE v1 may vary.
