during setup will I be able to inhibit the broadcast of my ssid?

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.

During the initial setup you will have to type in your SSID...But once you have finished going through the setup and KNOW your SSID and PASSWORD..You have the option of "hiding" your SSID by not broadcasting it....

Just to throw this out there, hiding your SSID doesn't actually do anything. Anybody can still see it if they use some simple software. If you want security, make sure you use the right encryption protocol, and a very long password (preferably a randomly generated one).

The Unifi Controller software only needs to be running in order to make configuration changes, or install updated firmware to the device. Unless you want to utilize the Guest Wireless setup, that requires the controller to be running for authentication.Yes you can do seamless hopping as long as you are using the same SSID/security setup and operating on a non overlapping channels with non Ubiquiti APs.

Simple answer is yes. You can give it another SID (network name) and password.

Yes. My iReceiver is using the same SSID as my other iDevices and works fine.

should be fine just turn off dhcp and if you have to... point most of the ips towards youf router(dns,dhcp,gateway). You'll still need a seperate wifi "id" I think.

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?

Apparently it's possible though VLANS, but it sounds complicated. According to www.engeniustech.com MULTIPLE WIRELESS NAMES (AP MODE)Broadcasts multiple SSID's in one devicePermits different levels of network access (VLAN Tagging)

probably, but you'll probably have to install a custom bios to bypass the whitelist, if you do so, follow the directions to the t.

It uses the same SSID as your router, But they show up as separate networks.

unit should be located midway between router and your device. N150 will have its own SSID. Router SSIS_ EXT

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

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.

Controller only needs to be running during configuration - after that they're more than happy to be left alone. Just like any other AP, as long as you've got the same SSID and WPA2 PSK (and different channels, ideally) you can bounce back and forth without any problems. Ideally they work best by themselves, as they'll auto-configure channels to optimize coverage and AP load.

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.

I had the same question, and so far from exeriments the answer seems to be no. Specifically if you set it up as a wireless client, it will act as a hub rebroadcasting wireless (on a new SSID) to other wireless clients, but it doesn't allow access from a 'wired client' connected to the ethernet socket.. (Which is a shame). Wonder if this might be fixable with a firmware upgrade? Would make the box even more useful...

I doubt it, at least not by itself. There are details on how to accomplish it here: http://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeMAX/Transparent-Proxy-Off-host-with-Policy-Based-Routing/td-p/653407

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.
