Combine all 3 wireless?
I only need one network using my SXK80's (which are not an option in the model pull-down). There are three wireless networks available. Does it make sense to turn on all three wireless networks with the same SSID and the same VLAN grouping (default)? Woulld that yield better performance/redundancies, or only cause network confusion?
Thanks in advance!

This is what you have configured - perfectly on the spot.

No. All the networks are operating on the very same shared media (air), the same bandwidth, radios, the same wireless or wired backhaul.

Even if the UI would allow this configuration (especially the same SSID - having multiple SSIDs on one VLAN is always possible), there would not be any advantage. It would just add complexity for the wireless clients.making more virtual APs available, under a different wireless MAC (BSSID).
