Rt-ac3100 factory ssid don’t match.

[Pierino]

I just purchased a used rt-ac3100. The ssid on the bottom don’t match the default in the GUI.
The bottom label says ASUS abs ASUS_5G. The GUI reports ASUS_80 and ASUS_80_5G.
The cfe is 3.0.0.0 so it shouldn’t be possible to change them, correct?
If they can be changed, can someone tell me how?
The MAC address matches the label. It’s running rmerlin 384.6 beta1.

I think I've seen this before, but I can't remember where. Does the "80" bit match the last part of the MAC address?

The ASUS Blue Cave units seem to use this default naming scheme. Maybe it's just the way the new CFE's work.

Yes, 80 is the last of the MAC address. Why would they have the incorrect ssid printed on the label?
For some people who just buy routers, take them out of the box, plug them in and expect to search fir the ssid printed on the bottom that could cause headaches. Lol.

Are you in repeater mode?

ifeq ($(RTCONFIG_CONCURRENTREPEATER),y)
SSID = $(subst -,,$(BUILD_NAME))
CFLAGS += -DDEF_SSID_2G=\"ASUS_$(SSID)\" -DDEF_SSID_5G=\"ASUS_$(SSID)_5G\"
endif

No. I’m not.

It could be that it’s been that way for years, I never bothered to check the label before. I only noticed it this time because I turned it over to check the mfg date.
