WAX610 and guestSSID set up
Hello, I just set up (2)WAX610 AP’s in my home. I have one placed in the central part of the house and one placed in the garage. I’d say they are spaced 22-25feet away from each other and they have...
Thanks for the reply and information. I will switch to NAT for the guest network and give it a go. Should I also remove the “root AP” setting for the garageAP? I would just like to ensure seamless connectivity between the two APs I have.
Reading to much consumer Mesh marketing literature?
With all WAX6xx (and WAC5xx) - all connected to a wired network, with each AP configured to the same SSID, the same security (PSK, WPA2, ...) - this functionality is granted. Insight cloud does care about the WPA3 part. All you have to do is enable 802.11k, 802.11k (everything done automatically when managing multiple APs in Insight for the same location), plus 802.11r on each SSID.
Enabling any kind of Mesh is required only in case you have some APs (WAX6xx) operated in Mesh, using a wireless backhaul - then one, ideally two or more can act as wired root(s). And one, two or more can be operated without a wired backhaul.
- Haha! Yes you can say that. Thanks for the information on this. 🙂
