Hello
Yesterday, my ISP installed a new box (to support optical fiber)
Everything works fine, but when look at the WiFi section of Windows 11 parameters, it seems the box appears twice : one time as Livebox-D350 and one time as Livebox-D350 2
Is that normal ?
My wife's computer seems to use one and my computer uses the other but both work correctly,

Should I leave this as is or would it e better to remove one of them ?

Thanks for your help Have a good day

Your router's WiFi supports two bands, 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Depending on how the router is configured these may have different SSID names, or they may both use the same SSID name. If you use your browser to sign in to the admin page of your router there should be a page for advanced WiFi settings where you can change this, either setting it to use the same name for both, or to choose your own names for each.

There is another possibility. Did your ISP (Orange?) also install a Wi-Fi booster? If so, that would be the 2nd name.

How does Smart Wi-Fi works?

It doesn't matter which SSID you are connected to, you will both be on the same network and be able to see each other's PCs.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

Thank you very much for you answer and your explanation !
Yes, my ISP is Orange
Do you think I can safely remove the "Livebox-D350 2" entry (or "forget it" as they say in french) from the WiFi section in the Windows 11 parameters ?
Thanks again Have a good sunday !
