Does this support SSIDs with underscores? I want to this to have the same SSID as my home so I don't have to reconfigure my devices for travel.

SSID must be any combination of letters, numbers, and dashes (-), with length range of 1-32. Underscores are not supported by this device.

It depends on your devices. The AP200000 unit does not create a seamless network even if you have the same SSID. For a seamless network you need access points that support roaming profiles.

I don't use the same WIFI name (SSID), and I read somewhere there it's not recommended. Here's the reason. By having different SSID, I know which router or access point I am connected to. Otherwise, you don't know which one is causing the problem if there were any.

Yes. Usually repeater default SSID is original router SSID with .ext .Like homerouter and homrrouter.ext. You can edit the .ext out.In default it usually copies all settings like password etc

I just plugged the network extender (alone) into my house's coaxial cable network and it automatically synced up with my FIOS router. It even duplicated the SSID and security. I didn't have to do anything. That was fantastic. Although I do have the option to change these settings if I want to create a different SSID.

This device does not change your SSID. It is only a booster for your internet signal. If you accessed your shared drives throughout the house before the unit was installed then you should be able to do it after the unit was installed.

Yes, multiple SSID's and works great with VLAN's. You can also do a guest SSID if you don't use VLAN's and even customize a guest portal page.

Yes, the router sends out the SSID. I have six different devices via WiFi and two via hardwire connected to the router.

Yes you can... I have a corporate and Guest network on both of our AP's... When you first configure the install wizard gives you a choice to configure Guest.. Anyways you configure each SSID for whatever VLAN network you need it on.. BTW.. I'm really impressed with the device, The controller software and their support.. This was the first time using UniFi...

I have used it to set up wifi in hotels that only had an ethernet connection in rooms. That's one of the reasons I got it in the first place, so I could use my laptop in places other than the desk. I've also used it in offices that only have an ethernet connection. You do have to set it up FIRST on your system to create the SSID and password. If you're going to use it in hotels or on the road, definitely set up the password.

well ..for me it didn't worked at all. I couldn't setup that damn thing at all and couldn't get support from ubiquity either.came bricked. But from specs i don't think it's designed to be used this way (repeater). If you wire-daisy-ching with another router it shouldn't be a problem having the same SSID. For complete wireless repeating purposes i've used Netgear WNR3500v2/U/L (with dd-wrt)

I do not believe so, but the initial log in process to set your SSID is very straightforward, and only requires an ethermet RJ45 connection. It is a stable and very easy to use repeater, better than some others because it repeats your exact SSID, not a version of it.

Yes it creates another SSID that you have to switch to. Most devices are configurable to use the strongest signal so if you can configure your device for the strongest, it should not be an issue.

Depends on how you configure it. You can setup a separate SSID so you'll know which device you are connected to, or use the same SSID for all your wifi broadcasting. It doesn't make it a separate network...it's all part of one big net, although there are ways to isolate these devices, but why would you want to do that?
1624848
Yes....my Wifi devices just go from one WAP to another seamlessly and everything is on one single SSID

It will repeat its own, a different SSID.Read the instructions and reset the repeater.

The short answer is it depends. To be frank you are MUCH better off setting this up on another part of the house (or even two of these on either end of the house depending on size and location) under another network name (SSID) and then allowing you to use that as the primary and separate id for WiFi and then relegating the old one you have as a older backup (or even turning off the WiFi portion of that device entirely). The reason being that these devices are MUCH better at controlling the traffic among themselves and depending on your wired network router for advanced functionality and customizations as needed. These devices are optimized for doing one thing extremely well, that is creating a secure wireless network that you can use anywhere within its range with minimum of dropouts, signal problems and complications by creating a continuous connection to all related devices on its network and passing them on from OM2p-HS device to OM2p-HS device without the end user noticing. In your application that would be (for example your laptop PC, Tablet or smartphone) going from Basement to top floor in your house or even the backyard and surrounding area without never loosing a signal and at maximum speed that your network\internet service provider will support. Sounds simple but there are very few devices that will do this well and almost NONE at the price point of these devices. Start off by buying two and configuring according to instructions (at least one direct connected to router LAN ports with the other registered on the network and plugged in the furthest location in the house) and you are all set.
