I am brand new to this forum and was wondering if I could get some advice. One of our customers has a Netgear Prosafe WC7600 wireless LAN controller and I am having issues broadcasting two SSID's from one access point. There are several access points around the building and they broadcast the main SSID however, one access point needs to broadcast the main network plus a guest network. Is this possible? Any information will be useful.
Thanks for your response. The problem I have is that one of the SSID's that I want to broadcast from the access point is already broadcasted on other access points and part of another group. When I attempt to add the same SSID to another group it doesn't let me as it's already been used. I hope this makes sense.
1. AP will broadcast the SSID based on the group they belongs to. 2. By default all the APs will be part of basic group. 3. I believe you have all the APs in basic and you have profile "mainSSID", that is the reason "mainSSID" broadcasted from all the APs. 4. If you want to have "Guest" SSID for only one AP, then navigate to Configuration -> WLAN Network -> Select the AP which you want to have "Guest" SSID-> Choose group 1->Apply. 5. Navigate to configuration -> Profile ->Advanced -> Radio ->Edit ->Confgure "mainSSID"->Apply->Press + button-> Add -> Configure "GuestSSID"->Apply.
Please find an attachment for screen shot.
Note:
1. If you are trying to have same SSID on the same band, then controller would not allow you to configure and it will throw an error saying "SSID already exist". Having same SSID on the same band is not recommended.
2. You can create/add "same SSID" in different group or you can add same SSID on both 802.11b/bg/ng and 802.11a/na/ac.There won’t any issue.
