You can by disabling the bands you don't wish to use. Otherwise if you select Smart Connect you would only be broadcasting 2 SSID's. The 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz. With Smart Connect "enabled" it will broadcast both 5 GHz bands as one SSID even though there is the 5 GHz1 and 5 GHz2 bands. It will automatically switch between the two 5 GHz bands based on signal quality which is a great feature. The switching is flawless.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can choose to have the SSID's all the same name. What I did was rename the 2.4GHz and 5 GHz bands t be the same name, and disabled the guest SSID. Now, if a device connects, it uses 5GHz band if it can do it, otherwise the 2.4 GHz
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can turn off the SSID broadcast. They doesn't stop the SSID from being transmitted, just whether or not other devices are told to display it for connecting. All of the radios can have their SSID set to broadcast or not.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It will broadcast one ssid if you want, or it will separate the 5ghz one if you choose. The 2 5ghz bands broadcast the same ssid either way.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The LinkSys is dual-band SSID, so you can sign on to either band's SSID with a wireless-compatible adapter. You just cannot connect to more than one band at a time on a given PC. I have sometimes 10 PC's and hand-held devices logged in at any given time, some are logged into the lower band while others are logged into the 5G band..
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have this router and my wifi devices only see one SSID. I connect to that one and the router does everything else automatically like switching from 2.4 to 5Ghz, etc if needed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.you can broadcast one or multiple SSID's or turn off broadcasting altogether.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi, GeneralS. Yes, you can either hide or broadcast the SSID of your router. To do this, access the user interface then go to wireless, broadcast SSID and choose no.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You only need one SSID. The bands work like human arms, all connected to one brain. That being said you can have 2 SSIDS for the 5.0Ghz and the 2.4Ghz, but for user ease I would just name them the same thing
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You could probably disable the guest and one other and just have one SID (hidden or not). You could have two or three and hide SIDs, not sure of your question.
