[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.
I noticed this may be specific to WNDR4500 model. I have a WNDR4300 and it does allow me to specify the same SSID for both bands. Now whether that is really working or not, I don't know. Was this solution to get around not being able to even specify the same SSID for both bands in the admin config screens?
Yes, unable to enter same SSID for both bands was original issue but j_fix came up with great workaround.
