    Spaces and SSID Names ?

    Hey all, Just a quick question, I've been reading more instances lately where Spaces can cause issues with SSID names. I was curious as to what this specifically applies to in today's standards. For example, my SSIDs are "iFrog Media", and iFrog Media 5GHz" I've never had any kind of...

    Guest Networks - Schedule

    Hi folks, I'm trying to work out how I can create schedules on the Guest Networks to toggle them on/off during certain days/times. My kids are driving me nuts with it and they can easily get around the parental controls with MAC address spoofing etc. Instead, they are going to have their own...

    Hi: I have Cisco CBW240AC access points. In the controller software, Under Advanced RF Parameters, I don't understand the difference between adjusting the 5.0 Ghz Threshold (6,9,12 Mbps, etc.) vs. adjusting the 5.0 GHz Data Rates with the same selections, 6,9,12 Mbps, etc. I'm not sure if the...

    VLAN and VLAN Tagging with RT-AC86U

    I have two VLANS, one for the regular ISP connection and one for the VPN. I want the 86U to connect to the switch using 802.1Q VLAN Tagging and then create two separate SSID's, one for each VLAN. ¿Is that possible? I would appreciate a pointer. You can get technical! Thanks and regards,

    How Many SSIDs (WiFi Names) is Too Many?

    How Many SSIDs (WiFi Names) are Too Many? Up front I’m going to say if you need ‘em – use ‘em. Let’s take it further; if you want ‘em – use ‘em. The conversation often comes up as a side bar in other threads. There seems to be two camps; use as many as you need/want or use as few as...

    Turning Off WiFi on RT-AC87U

    Good Morning: Is it possible to turn off or disable WiFi on the RT-AC87U. I just set up an Orbi Pro SRR60 and corresponding Satellite to handle all things WiFi. Currently, I renamed the SSID's on the Asus and hid the SSID's. However, that still means they are "still around." There is a...
