TL-WA901ND creating duplicate SSID instead of forwarding
Region : Argentina
Model : TL-WA901ND
Hardware Version : V3
Firmware Version : 3.14.8 Build 130828 Rel.63678n
ISP :
Hi, I have a Linksys router connected to my cable modem downstairs and have an Ethernet LAN around the house. I installed a switch upstairs in a wifi blackspot area and connected it to the network via Ethernet. The TL-WA901ND is positioned upstairs and connected to the switch via Ethernet.
I setup the TL-WA901ND to run in Universal Repeater mode, ran Survey, clicked on my SSID (JCLM) and entered the network password for the JCLM network. The TL-WA901ND network SSID comes up on my devices as JCLM 2. When I connect to JCLM 2 network upstairs, signal is very strong but my problem is when I come back downstairs, it does not automatically transfer to the JCLM network. I have to manually disconnect from JCLM 2 and connect to JCLM network each time.
How can I set this up to show only a single JCLM SSID and to automatically transfer between both access points depending on strength of signal?
Here's the version info from the System Tools section of the TL-WA901ND:
