If the one wi-fi name feature is enabled on your extender, then it is next to impossible to change the wireless settings of the extender through the Netgear extender setup wizard. You will have to login to the router to change the Wi-Fi network settings. If you don’t know how to login to the router, then no need to worry. Just open the link which says ‘How to login to the Netgear router’ or read the guided manual of your router. You will find stepwise instructions on that manual.
Yes, if no one Wi-Fi name feature is enabled, then you can change the settings of your Wi-Fi network even from the web interface of your extender.

- Open a web browser from your computer or smart device and it must be remembered that the device from which you are going to open the browser must be connected to the extender.
