[Solved] WNDR4500 Using Same SSID for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz
I coudn't find a solution for this by searching so I'm posting: Using firefox: (other browsers may work but this is what I used) 1. Log into to router on browser. 2. Select Wireless 3...
I've tried from a different computer with a fresh install of firefox to try and figure out what the discrepancy could be.
On the original computer I had the "Toggle split console" screen option turned on (second on the left option of those small icons on the right hand side of the javascript debugger) - you can hover the mouse over them to see what each one does.
From the default install: try clicking on the icon that is titled "Console" 3rd from left and then type
cf.ssid_an.value = "Wanted"
Then click on the "Debugger" 4th from left option next to "Console" and push F8.
Sorry........I can't seem to see it?

That worked perfectly!!! :) Thank you so much. I now have both bands on the same SSID. Been trying to sort this out for a good while so many thanks for your original post and your speedy replies. You've been a great help.
Awesome solution, thank you! Just incredible.
Now a challenge - how about getting the two guest networks to also have the same SSIDs for 2.4 and 5 ghz, how would I do that? right now it pops up saying they are duplicate values and won't allow it.
Sorry, I had a look but the guest network ssid is checked for a common value inside the router and not in the clients web browser - so it's not as simple to change.
Thank you for looking. I figure in end I just will deactivate the 5ghz for guests and just leave the 2.4ghz showing. Once again thank you for posting your overall solution, works great.
