- The main boost connected to the NAH will make the network name and password whatever is configured to this one.
- Any additional boost connected will automatically adopt the SSID and password without any configuration needed.
This means that if you make the SSID name change to the main boost, any others will adopt it. Does that help?
Are there any implications to renaming the SSID ? Would it impact any wireless Optik TV receivers?
Can we branch off a Boost to have it's own wireless network instead of adopting from the main?

- Any devices that are connected to that SSID will need to have connect to the new network. Anything with an ethernet cable will be unaffected.
- Optik receivers should not be affected. If they are, they can be reconnected.
- The main boost will distribute its data to any secondary boosts, otherwise you won't have a mesh network and instead have two networks and you might run into further issues
