Description Julius Dauz 2008-06-30 11:44:39 UTC

A customer requested for this enhancement.

Wireless Router is in main networking area with a patch panel. In a different room there is an access point hardwired to the network with a different SSID. Customer would like for the Controller to be able to switch back and forth between both of his SSID's automatically depending on which AP his is getting a better signal from.

why not use the same SSID which would allow automatic auto switching based on signal strength?  This is standard for 802.11a/b/g/n multi-AP networking.
