Multiple Access Point with the same SSID
Region : Switzerland
Model : Archer C9
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Hi,
I have a ADB Broadband router from my internet provider in the basement, dhcp enabled, wifi disabled.
Cat-6 cables go from this router to the 2 floors in the house.
At each floor I have an Airport extreme connected to these cat-6 cables installed in Bridge mode with the same SSID, security and psw and I’ve disabled the dhcp.
The Airport extreme are quite old and therefore I wanted to replace one of them with an Archer C9.
In order to keep the current wifi setup I’ve connected the ADB Broadband router with a Cat-6 cable to one of the Ethernet ports of the Archer C9.
The Archer C9 has a static address in the same subnet of the router and has the dhcp disabled.
I’ve defined the same SSID, security and psw as the existing apple devices for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz wifi on the Archer.
Unfortunately, my mobile devices (ipads and iphones) do not connect with the Archer wifi.
I tried to reset the connection to the SSID by “forgetting the network” and connecting again but it didn’t work
[*]I disabled the 2.4 or the 5 GHZ wifi but it didn’t work
[*]Only by defining a new SSID name I was able to connect to the Archer.
[*]If I define the original SSID name for the 2.4 GHZ wifi and a new SSID name for the 5 GHz wifi I’m able to connect to the 5GHz but not to the 2.4 GHz wifi.
Any ideas how to solve the issue?
Thank you very much
Olivier
