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?
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.
