WAX202 Wifi calling and Sonos
hi folks -
I've got Verizon fios modem >> WAX202 in router mode >> hardwired ethernet to (2) WAX202s each in AP mode.
I made the AP's and the router all have the same SSID, is this best practice?
Do I need to set or manage the channels of the three WAX202's?
any tips or tricks to optimize Wifi calling and Sonos audio?
Thanks in advance

Not sure if this model has fast roaming in the settings (my wax218 does). If it does, enable it. It can help if you're using the same ssid.
If you don't, you can still have the same ssid, but your device might not roam that efficiently.
You do want to set them on separate wireless channels to prevent interference with each other since they're setup as AP's.
In a mesh system, it uses the same channel because they're all controlled by the router.
