I haven't seen my question answered yet anywhere else here.

I have a GTAX11000 as the main router, a RT-AX3000 and a RTax88U as 2 mesh nodes. I have found that the ax3000 is transmitting 2 different ssid (2.4g and 5g) than the main router, and not passworded. Wifi analyzer shows the ssid, but I can not connect to them normally on the phone.
How do I access the node setting page? And if I can do that, should I rename the SSID to the main router's SSID? I do want the same network for handing off to devices closer to whichever node.
They are all 3 wired together, ethernet backhaul,

Thanks.
 
Your network is not setup properly, or is not in AiMesh mode. You don't normally have the option to change SSID's otherwise.
 
How would I set it up properly then? The main router, the AX11000, shows it as a aimesh node. I currently do not have the option to change its SSID, that I can find.

Never mind, got it. They are all hardwired, so maybe it was this easy.
I made sure the firmware was current, just removed the node, it factory reset, and then after a couple minutes re-added the node as a new node after searching for it. Didn't even touch it. It then correctly added in the SSID for the aimesh network. No idea what happened, but now I have no extra SSIDs in my house. :)
