1) How do I add the 8-digit security code to the 2.4 and 5.0 SSIDs? 2) Is it recommended to use the exact same SSID as my main wireless router?

Log in to the web-based management interface, click on Wireless Network (under either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz sections), click on Wireless Security, choose your security mode (suggest WPA2-PSK), type your security passphrase. Doesn't have to be limited to only eight characters. Remember that clicking Accept does not apply the changes. To apply changes, use Status &gt; Save/Load.

It uses the same SSID. Don't know about MAC address filtering. Recommend anyone use a wifi analyzer to program an optimal channel on the router. Found conflicts with neighborhood channels after installation.

I don't think you need to assign separate SSID's. Never did with all the dual banners I had. Never has any problem. My wifi is fast and I can even access it 10 houses away.

Security AUTHENTICATION LEAP, WPA, 802.1X, EAP-TLS, ENCRYPTION CKIP, TKIP, 128-bit and 64-bit WEP Product Safety UL, C-UL, CB (IEC 60590) So my guess would be no but millions of people know more about this than I. I'm glad most people had an easy installation with this card. I was one of the few who had no more patience when I completed the install. I had to flash the bois, run another program called "NO 801" on the cmos AND actually soldier the antenna wires back on to the new card. The Thinkpad T30 was set up to ignore the intel card, hence all the workarounds. I will say after all the Bull and Frustration the card works very well, crisp, clean and strong signal even from a good distance away from the router. Hope that helps..................

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 hope I am understanding your question, but one of its operating modes is as a router - that is how I use it. It connects one side to an existing wired network and then creates a wireless network with its own SSID. Any wifi device can then connect to that network and through it to the main network. This is the way I use it - to connect to say a hotel wired network and allow all my wifi devices to then connect through it.

I believe I remember a way in the setup manual but I ended up not using this router because it would not work with my router without lowering the security level and I didn't want to do that. Wish they would have said that in the product description.

Justin, have you read the PDF instruction manual? I just skimmed it, since I don't need to add security in my application, but it looked quite thorough. You can select different encryption methods and/or change the SSID. You'll need to install the software on the CD into your PC to do the security setup.

You can set up different SSIDs with each band. Obviously AC is reserved for 5ghz if you wish to use it. I have mine set up to run 2.4ghz as one SSID and 5.0 as another. Both CAN run simultaneously, but it's not required. You can run either/or without the other.

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.

Hello Jim, we are using two airenabler devices in our home network and I had no issues including them in our WPA2-PSK [AES] network and log right in. I hope this helps you make your choice. Regards, Peter

I have a couple sites where I used two units to get coverage for the entire floor. As long as you use the same SSID and password for the APs, you should have a hard time with going between the one with stronger signal.

Try in your browser ( internet explorer or other ) by using www.198.168.1.1 and them use as a user admin and passcode admin aswell. when you are inside in the option of security you can change the SSID. Let me know if it works or I can suggest another way to do it.

This is completely inside of your network. You'd use an Ethernet port from your wi-fi router's inside network ports to the single port unit and then have the four port unit at another spot in the house. As mentioned in reviews, make sure it's directly connected to the wall (not a power strip) at each end. I'd also make sure you regenerate the encryption keys by hitting the button on both ends within 60 seconds of each other just in case a neighbor has purchased a similar device.

There are a couple of ways to do this, none are very intuitive. Factory Reset Turn off Radio (press & hold Power till you see "Goodbye"), now press and hole Power & "+" till you see Factory Settings Restored, it will now walk you through the Setup to enter your WiFi info, I believe it will keep your MySB login info. Or, Change Network Name Change your routers SSID, connect Radio, enter new encryption password, change SSID back to original name, connect Radio, it should remember the new encryption password.

It adds an extension, I don't recall of the top of my head but something like "YourWIFI_RPT" for normal and "YourWIFI_RPT5G" for the 5g. That is optional to use your wifi SSID "YourWIFI". You can also give it a different name if you want.

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.
