Does NOT work if you don't broadcast your SSID - Know of any that do?

You can't connect to a wireless network without an SSID. However, if you don't wish to use your routers own SSID, you can use this item to provide a wireless access point only by using a cable connection (that way you are not exposing the routers access point)You may also try these kind of range exteders: Linksys Powerline AV Wireless Network Extender (PLWK400)I don't see what the problem of broadcasting the SSID is, if someone is stealing your WiFi, just put a password on it.

As long as you put your router ssid in the config for this device it will work fine. It does not need to be broadcasted.

The Unifi Controller software only needs to be running in order to make configuration changes, or install updated firmware to the device. Unless you want to utilize the Guest Wireless setup, that requires the controller to be running for authentication.Yes you can do seamless hopping as long as you are using the same SSID/security setup and operating on a non overlapping channels with non Ubiquiti APs.

Yes....my Wifi devices just go from one WAP to another seamlessly and everything is on one single SSID

Yes, you can expand your current network using the same SSID. This device perfirms rather well doing.

Hello, that sounds like an interesting idea--however even if you shut off your home's cable router, there could be other broadcasting (non-locked down) wi-fi routers in the neighborhood that might not have a network password. So, not sure that application would be 100% sure-fire. Hope that helps.

If you have security enabled on your wifi router or just have the routers name "SSID" hidden. Take security off or unhidden the SSID and try to connect again. Mine is working fine but I had a hidden wifi name and had to unhide it to connect the first time.

I don't see why you couldn't. If you set one up as the ap and the other two as client bridges, it should work. Only issue will be line of sight and direction, so if you have line of sight, and they are all in the same general direction, you should be good to go. You also have the ability to broadcast four different ssid's.

It depends on your devices. The AP200000 unit does not create a seamless network even if you have the same SSID. For a seamless network you need access points that support roaming profiles.

Yes it will do what you want only problem if you go to multiple locations you would always have to enter the web interface to change the wireless access information, other than that it is basically great for what you need it to do. I did email the developer to upgrade the firmware so that it could store multiple ssid to auto connect to whatever is in range so far no reply.

Disabling broadcasting is not a substitute for wireless security such as encryption and MAC filtering. Your non-broadcast network can still be detected and listened to by anyone with easily downloaded software: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb726942.aspx ("Why Non-broadcast Networks are not a Security Feature")

It uses the same SSID as your router, But they show up as separate networks.

I never had that issue and I also use AirPort Extreme. Assuming you have your wi-fi password entered correctly (case sensitive and whatnot), I'd try setting up with the speaker unit closer to the wi-fi hotspot in case there are some issues with signal strength. Also, you may want to activate the guest mode of your AirPort Extreme without any password and just try to see if it connects that way. Of course, this would only be temporary fix as you'd not want guest mode active 24/7.

Kinda, it has the typical ASUS driver software which allows for independent setting for the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands. You can give each band a separate SSID and password. That will allow you to connect to just the 5Ghz band with your devices. After you have separate SSIDs you can also disable the 2.4Ghz SSID broadcast so it won't even show up as an option on most of your devices. However, there's no way to actually disable the 2.4Ghz band broadcast. Remember, even when the 2.4Ghz band is "hidden" you (or others) can still find it and connect to it so make sure it's password protected!

Yes, you can. I am currently using 3 in different locations. You can either use them as individual access points, (names), or just your current SSID. Hope this helps.

Depends on how you configure it. You can setup a separate SSID so you'll know which device you are connected to, or use the same SSID for all your wifi broadcasting. It doesn't make it a separate network...it's all part of one big net, although there are ways to isolate these devices, but why would you want to do that?
