I recently purchased the WAX202 Ap to allow me to use the ethernet ports and extend the wifi in my summerhouse.
However, when i went through the set up i had to create a new SSID and password which isn't what i wanted to do, I wanted to use the same SSID and Password as my router, therefore making it easy to move from one place to another without having to log into an alternative network.
In AP mode, you can configure one to three different SSIDs, all are connecting to the same network. You are free to configure the SSID to the same name, the same security settings and the same pre-shared key you might have configured on your ISP or other wireless router.
Or should you be confused due to the predefined default admin SSID?
The router is from Sky TV. I've run an ethernet from it down to the summerhouse and want to be able to connect to the same network.
So if I am right in my thinking, the WAX202 hasn't created an alternative network, its the same as my Sky network, its just allowing me to call it something else?
How come I see the 2 different networks in my network settings? If I called it the same as my Sky SSID, I would have 2 SSID's the same wouldn't I? I essentially would like to have just 1 SSID so I don't have to swap when I move around between my house and summerhouse.
I set it up exactly like the video on Youtube that you sent but I now have 2 SSID's so in my eye's 2 WiFi networks to connect to. Is this not the case?
I just want 1 WiFi SSID that I can connect to and if i move from my house into my summerhouse my laptop will pick up the same SSID from one place to the other.
