M5 in Access Mode using same SSID as existing ATT Gateway router
Trying to setup a 3 pack of M5's in Access Mode - original desire was to use these as extensions for my existing router wifi network and allow my existing router to continue provide wifi coverage as well as manage network traffice. However, the decos demand that a 'new' network be created when setting them up - that said, once I setup up a new SSID for the deco's (they are in ethernet backhaul as all locations have existing network cable/jacks), then I configured to Access Mode - however, it appears wifi devices will have to 'jump' to the newly created network to realize any wifi signal strength gained? - has anyone else been able to setup up the M5's in Access Mode, but on an EXISTING SSID network?
BTW, the existing modem/router is an ATT BGW320-500 gateway.
thanks in advance
