Unique SSIDs and Password
I require separted SSIDs for some of my older Smart Home Devices. I was wondering if via Telnet there is a way to not only rename each SSID uniquely but set the password for each SSID uniquely? I...
I am unsure what compelled you to post such a very uncool comment to my thread and quite frankly don’t care to understand why. You have offended me; therefore, I would respectfully ask going forward you reframe from commenting on any of my threads.

Given that you have hijacked this thread with such a manner of response and I don’t want it to spiral any further I am closing it.

Still would like to know if you have tried these devices with your system with out making any changes. Technically they should work.
Indeed. Coming here for answers depends on asking the right questions and providing useful information.
As regulars will know, sometimes people insist that they have to make a particularly change, when it is really a red herring.
As well as being interested in knowing if these devices work without making any changes, it might also be useful to tell people what these devices are.
Please forgive my frustration. This issue has been going on for a couple of months now. This is not the first community I have been on with this issue (quite a number in fact). The questions you are asking have been asked countless times. Bottomline, been there…tried that. I didn’t want to rehash all the various methods tried for the umpteen time. I am grateful for you input but I am well past those suggestion, hope you can understand that.
Someone pointed me to this community and suggest I ask "via Telnet is there a way to not only rename each SSID uniquely (which I have found how to) but also set the password for each SSID uniquely". From there I can try to see if this solves the connection issue.
Again thank you for your input but please if you want to help me point me in the right direction to getting the answer to the question I am posing.
You are asking for information that is outside the remit of "official" support channels. Advice on playing around with Telnet is not something that you will get from the Netgear team.
Yes, there are non-Netgear people here, but they too usually stick to familiar territory, just as they do when people ask about third-party firmware. That's best handled over in places where they create it.
If you aren't prepared to go into the underlying issue – such as the devices involved – then you would do better to seek help outside the Netgear community.
That you are not prepared to divulge basic information makes it hard to say more. Telling us that "This is not the first community I have been on with this issue" tells us not ,much it simply raises the question, why did you faff around elsewhere when you are trying to fix a Netgear device? Nor does it tell us anything about the possibly dodgy advice that you received elsewhere.
Many of these "how so I connect my stuff?" issues get solved when people don't mind saying what it is they want to connect and what foes wrong when they try to connect it.
No one is trying to be awkward, simply to get to the bottom of the problem. Good luck with whatever search engine you favour.

By marking this as SOLVED you have opened the door for people to think that it arrived at some sort of resolution of your problem.
This is far from the case, mostly because you have not provided enough information to understand what that problem might be.
You also have a funny interpretation of what denotes a "hijack".
