    Problem Connecting Multiple Wifi Routers With Same SSID


    Hi,


    I lives in Pakistan, Here main BroadBand service provider is PTCL. When they install new BroadBand internet connection, they name each router's SSID as "PTCL-BB". Surely, I can change the SSID but as we go to some other place same problem exists. I need to use some networking manager because Windows 10 trying to connect with my neighbor's router with my router's password. I also need to configure my network manager on each startup.


    I need to know is there any way to show "MAC" in network connection wizard instead of "SSID".


    Again Please don't suggest me to change SSID of every router, Apologies!


    Thanks..

    :)

  2. the two routers one ssid problem


    Today i was trying to configure my TV Smartbox (Horizon mediabox from Ziggo), which is also a router, to match the same SSID as my modem.

    To explain the situation:
    - I run a cable from the modem to the TV Smartbox router
    - Turned off DHCP on the TV Smartbox router
    - changed the IP adres on the TV Smartbox(192.168.178.1 to match the IP from the Modem(192.168.178.1)
    - Matched the SSID from the TV Smartbox to the modem

    The settings:
    These settings are the settings in the TV Smartbox:

    And the wireless settings in the TV Smartbox:

    The settings on the Modem(Dutch, i am sorry):

    The wireless settings on the modem(Dutch, i am sorry):

    To explain the Problem:
    As far as i know, thats how you do it. But yet it does not "switch".
    If i turn on WIFI and connect next to the Smartbox and speedtest i get 90 Down and 14 Up, but if i walk to the modem and test again, it slows down to 30 Down and 12 Up
    And same if i turn on wifi and connect next to the modem, i get 70 Down and 14 Up, but if i walk to the TV Smartbox and speedtest, i get 20 and 11.

    The question:
    Do you guys meaby have any suggestions on how to fix it?

    Thnx in advance!

  3. Nokia 920 and 820 will not connect to hidden SSID WiFi

    I have tried connecting using the advanced + options as suggested. I am able to enter the SSID with the router then asking for the password. The correct password is entered - but I then get a message saying that the router is not responding to the requested.
    However, if the SSID is made visible a connection can be made fine. The Lumia 920 then holds the WiFi connection until the SSID is made invisible again at which point the connection is lost. Make it visible again and a connection is restored.
    The router in question is a netgear - I will try this evening using another router and see if the same symptoms exist.

    WiFi network that is not broadcasting an SSID

    I have my home router set to not broadcast the SSID and have it secured with a WPA2 Passphrase. The question I have is how can I connect my LG Quantum phone to my home network if I'm not broadcasting the SSID? It doesn't show up on the list of available
    WiFi connections and there is no way to manually include my SSID and password from what I can see. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
