The new modem/router is cool, it has amazing capabilities. But one that seems to be missing is Custom SSID Name. Is there a firmware update or something that will give me the options I see in the Smartrg version of the manual?

It just seems weird, this amazing new router can't do something crappy routers have done for years.

Yeah you can set a custom SSID and it's a fairly straight forward process. We have an article on our knowledgebase that gives some step by step directions - https://help.sonic.com/hc/en-us/article ... d_password..

Andrew,

I'm familiar with the config page on Sonic. The thing is, my interface looks WAY different than the one shown there. Here is a cap of what the same page looks like on the unit I have. ... I don't have anything like the same options. So is it a firmware issue, or...?

Sorry about that, we need to update the knowledgebase article to reflect the changes to the GUI. For anyone else reading this - you can find the SSID configuration page by simply clicking on WIRELESS in the interface.

More importantly you ALSO really need to update your deployed SmartRG 515ac firmware. Your CURRENT deployed gateway firmware 2.6.1.6 is deployed is over 3 years out of date and 9 releases behind Adcom's current production release R2.6.2.6 which itself was released for GA 3 months ago in May.

Thanks for any help you can give the issue...
