WAX214v2
Just bought 3 of these for my home which has solid walls. It seems a new model with little info on Netgear and I am not sure if 214v1 advice remains good. - such as same SSID for all 3 Advice...
Tell us about the installation and design idea behind these three WAX214v2 please.
If reading about three APs and thick walls, I'm missing a switch (ideally PoE+), the cabling, and the Hilti to dig some holes through the walls.
Sure, these devices can serve one SSID.
Sorry for late reply as Netgear keep asking to reset my password, even though I entered the previously rest one.
I found this advice online
" these are the most important things to do:
- Same SSID, passphrase and security settings on all APs
- Different channel for each AP. Ideally non-overlapping (1, 6, 11)"
Does this make sense as I have seen conflicting advice online?
Sound advice - as long as we talk of the 2.4 GHz band and the US/FCC channels.
Still unclear to me on how you intend to connect the WAX214v2 to the primary network and router.
