WAX610 multiple SSIDs
Hello dear Network Gurus.
I have a WAX610 Access Point and everything works perfectly until the time I tried to put more than 1 SSID to work.
I have 3 SSIDs but only the first one is working and allowing connections.
SSID1: VLANID: 1 : Authentication: WPA3/WPA2 Personnal
SSID2: VLANID: 2 : Authentication: WPA2/WPA Personnal
SSID3: VLANID: 3 : Authentication: WPA3/WPA2 Personnal
No idea why only SSID is working ... can someone help?

SSID3: VLANID: 3 : Authentication: WPA3/WPA2 PersonnalMost likely because the VLAN 2 and VLAN 3 (and a dedicated IP subnetwork) does not exist on your network, and does not have a DHCP server assigning IP addresses to your test clients.
You could for example define more SSIDs and let these connect all to your same network (VLAN and IP subnet). As long as you map the SSID 2 and 3 to the VLAN 1, thee SSID will work for your test.

Hello ferreirajorge
can you post your topology ? it will be easier to help.
Normally, when users have multiple SSID-VLAN needs and run into issues, the problem is due to Switch port configurations.
for example lets take a sample networkl
Router====Switch====WAX610AP
in order to make
SSID1_VLAN1
SSID2_VLAN2
SSID3_VLAN3
work, we have make sure the router has DHCP server configured on all the subnets (or any other DHCP server).the Port on Switch that is connected to uplink router and downlink to AP in configured as TRUNK port.
Thanks for your message.
I haven't reached that point yet. I was just trying to get the same AP to get connections from more than 1 SSID ...
Is that the issue? That I'm already putting VLANs (in preparation) but not using then just yet?

That's right.
I was creating the roof before having the walls. Once that I put all the WiFis in the same VLAN (1) all worked immediately.
Thanks for your help and sorry for such a beginner question.
