one ssid cross two accesspoints WAC720 using wc7500

I wanted to expand my WIFI with this SSID by adding another AP WAC720 to an existing wireless network using WC7500. There is a way to do it via WC7500. Not sure how. I need help setting this up.

If you are using a controller, that's where you will do the setup / management. The manual has all the information you need.

I tried but I couldn't find the solution. I am new to this setup. Can you please more specific if you can? One SSID on both WAC720 and WC7500

Thanks,

I am not sure that I follow the question. But sharing an SSID on several wifi networks may not be a good idea.

 

If you use the same SSID for all the wifi sources in your home the wifi clients can get confused about which one to talk to. They may end up locked on to a source with a weaker signal than one nearby.

One access point WAC720 wouldn't be enough to cover the whole area.
I wanted to add another access point in the back area using same SSID and I assigned it to the first AP using Network Controller.
