SSID is Duplicate Please Change Error
So, I have the RBRE960 with the latest firmware (V7.2.6.21_5.0.20) running 2.4ghz, 5ghz, and 6ghz wifi. I'd like all three wifi networks to use the same SSID. This support article says that, by defau...
The separate 6Ghz SSID can not be the same as the Main WiFi SSID. There is already a 6Ghz radio running on the main WIFI SSID. The separate 6Ghz has to be different.

Enjoy.
