Can someone explain why we need to set a generic master SSID for this AP? Normally we determine an SSID for each radio band and guests... Tks!

You can set a regular and guest SSID individually for each AP you manage and for each radio. If you go into the AP configuration, you can override the SSID for each radio for normal and Guest.

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.

Hi Aaron. Each Sabrent has its own SSID. There is a firmware update due out next week that will allow you to rename each Sabrent to more usable names - Kitchen Airplay. I use Airfoil to play from my computer (Mac) to the Sabrents and I can play the same music to multiple Sabrents. Havent tried it from itunes or Pandora. Hope this helps. Harlan

Yes, Sean. You may change the SSID for both bands and manually uncheck the Broadcast SSID feature of your router.

I was not able to do it last night. I had to 'un-hide' my SSID to set it up, then when I went back and 'hid' my SSID it could not connect. [Setting it in repeater mode]. So now my SSID remains 'un-hidden', I've since just implemented a MAC ACL. Please let me know if you've had better luck.

bought 3 units for testing. I would buy many units. wonder; How do I put the APN? How do I Aim for my system? how do I get access to the protocol manual?

Per their FAQ there are 4 SSIDs supported on one access point. You can have more in the system, but would have to spread them out over multiple access points.http://wiki.ubnt.com/UniFi_FAQ#How_Many_SSIDs_.2F_VLANs_are_supported

Yes, you can. I am currently using 3 in different locations. You can either use them as individual access points, (names), or just your current SSID. Hope this helps.

I also have Uverse. If you go with the UniFi AP I recommend to continue using the the 2wire, configure the settings on the UniFi the same as the 2wire settings e.g. security method, password, etc. except make sure you turn off DHCP. I think some of the people who are having problems getting it configured to work properly are not doing this.

I've never used these as a AP, only as a bridge. But other Ubiquiti I have used normally can handle 50 users. Depending what bandwidth the users need I normally never go over 30 per AP and I use a controller to handle the AP's. When I go this route I use Netgear equipment WNDAP360 AP's

Yes, it can function in either access point or client mode. You would just keep it in access point mode (factory default) and configure the SSID and key to be the same as your other device.

I am an IT pro and wireless network engineer. I use an AP per 25 devices. You will have the bottleneck of the data port and the wireless bandwidth available. Meaning that if these do 150 mbps then 60-80 people will be sharing it. You would be better buying the 3 pack of access points.

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

After initiallizing your wifi repeater, you can hide your SSID from broadcasting. I personally found out in my unit when I did this, it would emit a weaker signal. I also recommend changing your router channel to 1 or 6 or 11 for a more stable setup.

single setup, single location or you have to reconfigure. The accounts etc (Belkin) etc say the same (as it uses their site for access), but you would need to reset the wifi at the location you are going to. Since there is no local NAT - that is, no IP addresses to deal with, you could move it without reconfiguration IF the sites share a wifi SSID and credentials.

Hi, Mike. This access point can only broadcast 1 SSID (choosing between 2.4GHz or 5GHz network). Scheduled SSID broadcast is also not a feature.

I believe all access points allow you to inhibit SSID broadcasting. At least the several that I have setup have allowed me to do that. You may not want to do that as it can make configuring the connect to wireless devices a little more difficult as the network will not be able to be discovered automatically. You'll have to enter the hidden SSID each time you set up a wireless connection on a new device. Another way to foil wireless theft is to use 128 bit encryption and you can also limit connections to a list of specific device MAC addresses. Good luck.
