    Hi @LuisB,

     

    There is no option to assign an SSID to the WAC510.  However, you can create an SSID then assign it to a VLAN in the Wireless Settings of the WAC510.  As reference, kindly read pages 35-38 of the WAC510 user manual here about Setting up an Open or Secure WiFi Network.  

     

    Also, you can setup a Point-to-Point Wireless Bridging between your 2 WAC510.  Kindly read pages 71-74 of the WAC510 user manual here about Setting up a WiFi Bridge Between Access Points.
