Multiple SSIDs
Hey I just got this not realizing I can only do 1 SSID, I would not think that would be a limitation considering just about every other device out their is capable of this. Is there a way I can get multiple SSID's? I run about 4 to isolate different device types.

MESH systems are based on having 1 SSID and using Smart Connect to automatically connect devices to there best supported frequencies.
awells464 You can create separate SSIDs for the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands as shown in this thread:
However, note that creating separate SSIDs does not isolate devices from each other. To do that you would need a router that supports SSIDS tied to separate VLANs, and none of the NETGEAR home routers support that.
