2x Access Points - Seamless switching over

lmfy2k · 8 Jun 2015 at 13:46

has anyone got this to work successfully?

il be getting 2x Netgear R7000 Wireless routers for home (leaving on stock firmware initially)

One will be my main router and other an AP only on other side of the house (cabled in)

is it just a case of setting the same SSID/key on both (and different channels) ?

will a smart phone or tablet for example switch between them seamlessly?

Should do, depending on the access point, you may notice a drop for a couple of seconds.

great, will test it out when they arrive.

thanks

First R7000 arrived, setup as main router - what a beast!

awaiting Second R7000 to arrive but have set my current DLink DIR-615 to same SSID and password and seems to be switching over fine

Can you recommend a decent wireless ac access point?

Thanks mate.

Quick question about channels

I have my 2.4ghz on channel 1 and 11 (two ap)

On my 5ghz channel both ap set to channel 44. Is this right or do I have to make them different?
