Clone same SSID of router network for 2.4Ghz extended network
Hi all,
I would like to know if I can clone the same prmary router SSID for my 2.4Ghz extended network (i.e. "Name" instead of "Name_2GEXT"), leaving 5Ghz network, which I don't use at all, as it is (i.e. "Name_5GEXT"). Does it work properly? After that, will I still be able to access to Extender settigs via www.mywifiext.net using that SSID?
Thank you.
Hello pacorramos
You can do this but not recommended even though it has the same SSID it is still a separate network from your main routers network.

OK. So I will leave it as it is.
Thank you!
