EX3700-100PES
Hi, I'm struggling again with my EX3700-100PES configuration. Really this configuration is over-complicated Two years ago I finally managed to have it working as an Extender (ONLY for the LAN...
Why are you disabling the ssid broadcast?
Maybe last time you changed something else.
Does it stay working if you leave them enabled?
What router are you connecting it to?
Why are you disabling the ssid broadcast?
Because I need the EX3700-100PES only for it's LAN-port
Maybe last time you changed something else.
Probably but I can't remember as I struggled then too and got it finally working without knowing why it did in the end
Does it stay working if you leave them enabled?
I haven't tried that. But the DesktopPC connect over the LAN through the RouterLink, so the broadcasts shouldn't be involved ?
What router are you connecting it to?
The old Wifi-network was an Proxim AP-600
When I changed in the WebUI it's SSID to the new SSID, I lost control too, reason why I restarted with a reset
The new WiFi-Network is part of the FritzBox 7490.
Leave the wifi ssid enabled and see if it works
There is no difference when SSID Broadcast is enabled.
I found the reason (but not why) of the problem : when both 2G and 5G Router SSID links are configured it doesn't work.
When I only setup the EX3700-100PES for the 2G SSID, the problem is gone.

I discovered also a bug in the Router SSID manual step of the setup.
It's possible to copy/paste the SSID, but if you do so, there is no way to enter or copy/paste the key.
