Netgear Night Hawk R8000 Guest 2.4GHZ same SSID problem

The last two update of the firmware for the Night Hawk R8000 cause the Guest bands of 2.4 and 5 GHZ can not assigned the same Guest Wireless Name SSID.  Once I tried to set all three bands on the same SSID,  the router gives and error of dulplicate SSID name.  Does anyone have a solution or away arround it?  Thanks.

  • Hi lucrenet,

     

    This is normal since those networks are intended to have different network names. This is to identify as well as to which network you are connected.
