I'm trying to help Eli to reconfigure 11.1 to their preference as much as possible, but not having a Mac makes this challenging. I'm hoping they take the suggestion to buy replacement WiFi routers and go with it.... Honestly, I wouldn't want to try to change the network name on two AirPort basestations without my Mac.

You'd need to switch the cable modem over to "routed without NAT" (if it isn't already), but that's relatively straight-forward: open the gateway IP in a web browser, user admin, pass password, click LAN and scroll down to NAT. No Mac required. The AMPLIFI AFi-HD AmpliFi High Density Router with 2 Mesh Points is > $350, comes with a cube router that would plug into the modem, and two wireless extensions that plug straight into the wall — one for under the desk next to the kitchen, and the other for inside the bedroom. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1255882- REG/amplifi all hd amplifi high density router.html They require an iOS or Android device to setup, but update and maintain themselves afterwards. They're great little mesh network devices, that arc preconfigured to wirelessly extend each other—much easier to setup than AirPort Extremes (we've EFTA_R1_01055805 EFTA02259562
