WAC720 Ensemble Setup with Xfinity Gateway Modem/Router

Hi,

About to setup a WAC720 based Ensemble with 4 access points. Instructions seem clear.

 

One question:

Should my comcast Xfinity router/modem's SSID, password, encryption level match the access points since their signals will overlap?


Any advice?

 

What should I be asking??


Thanks in advance!

    Vitanaut,

     

    Welcome to the community! 🙂

     

    I think it is ok to have the Comcast Xfinity router/modem's SSID, password, encryption level match the access points.
