Use existing network name for new install of OC300

2022-07-28 20:03:17

Apologies in advance for such a remedial question.

I have a home network named Starlink. I am in the process of (attempting) to install a full Omada mesh network. My question is this: Can I name the OC300 SSID Starlink so I can use the existing connections, or do I need a unique SSID name? I really don't want to reconfigure all the devises attached to the existing "Starlink" network.

@MrChuckles

You can re-use your network name :) Just make sure the encryption matches what the Starlink router uses...probably WPA2-AES. If the encryption doesn't match the devices will see it as a different network...even though it has the same name.

Also, don't forget to set a static route for 192.168.100.1 via the WAN port so you can still access Dishy McFlatface from devices on your LAN.
