WAC124

Hi,

From my current Netgear D7000, have the objective to install a WAC124 (wired with Cat6 cable) in my garage/workshop as an Access Point in order to enjoy Wifi over there ...

My question is the following :

Will the WAC124 extend all the SSID available in my houses (the main SSID and the dedicated ARLO for security cameras) or will I only get the basic network ?

Thanks in advance for your help

    Based from your post, it seemed that you will use the WAC124 as a standalone AP.  About extending the wireless signal (you referred it as SSID), since you will deploy the WAC124 in your garage/workshop, be reminded that the operating distance or range of your WiFi connection can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your access point. For example, the thickness and number of walls the WiFi signal passes through can limit the range.  As reference, kindly read page 268 of the WAC124 user manual here

      No, the Arlo wireless can't be extended.
