Change "workgroup" in an AiMesh router ...

[Leguar]

Have an RT-AX88U (primary) bound to an RT-AC68U node (AiMesh).
My LAN's workgroup name is "GW43", but my node shows up as
"WORKGROUP".
How can I change the node (RT-AC68U) to be in the same workgroup ??
Thanks ...

SSH into the node and issue the following command.

nvram get st_samba_workgroup

If that returns "WORKGROUP" then change it as follows:

nvram set st_samba_workgroup="GW43"
nvram commit

Then reboot the node to see if it works.

Thank you Colin,
Will try it over the weekend. If it doesnt work, I will disconnet the node,
and do the change with the RT-AC68U, and the connect it again as node
for the RT-AX88U.
Thanks

@Colin,
Thanks for your advise. Did it and all is super
Do you have a link to all these "nvram" commands ??

Glad to hear it worked.

There's no documentation for nvram particularly because it's just a way of manipulating variables in flash memory. So like any other programming environment the variable names and their meaning could be anything.

If you want to have a look at all the currently defined variables enter the following command:

nvram show
