Causation
In previous firmware, we use like “TP-Link_2.4GHz_130918” and “TP-Link_5GHz_130917” to define the default
SSID of 2.4GHz and 5GHz, which may cause that some smart phone cannot display the whole part of the SSID.
Therefore, it’s unable to make a distinction between 2.4GHz and 5GHz.Latter firmware have shorten the default
SSID to eliminate this issue.
How to find the new wireless network name/SSID?

The original 2.4GHz SSID is “TP-Link_2.4GHz_
834CA9
