two times RE305 - one in EXT mode, other in AP mode
Hi,
Two questions:
Successfully I connected two RE305's to my Arris Router (Ziggo) which is located in the living room.
The first RE305 is connected by using WPS option, logged in with Tether app and changed the SSID by removing the _EXT extension into the original Ziggo1234567 SSID of the main Wifi network. Works fine in Extender Mode. This one is for using Wifi on the first floor.
The second RE305, I connected, after succesful link using WPS option. Then login with Tether app and changed working mode into Access Point.
Relocating, and connecting wired to LAN successfully. Also changed the SSID into the original Ziggo1234567 SSID of the main Ziggo network from the Arris Router. This one is for using Wifi in my home office.
All seems to works fine, as one Wifi network. Even printing to my HP network printer, by using the "office" Wifi connection of the RE305 in AP mode, seems to work.
But now, I sometimes have very limited access to both my RE305's when logging in with Tether app. Logging in goes well, but hen I go to "Tools" for instance, I cannot change the SSID or working mode at one time. A few moments later, logging in at the Extender mode enabled RE305, I can access the configuration again. Why is this ?
Is my above configuration something you would advise or is it better to have three network SSID's like:
- main network Ziggo1234567 (in the living room)
- Extender: Ziggo1234567_EXT (on the first floor)
- Access Point: Ziggo1234567_AP (in the office)
Would network printing, as above described, still work, or is my HP network printer not visible at any Wifi network through the RE305 with other SSID than the original, provided by the main network ?
Thank you.
