Hi

If I have 2 x WBE660S, with one as root AP and the other as AP. How are they connected? Are they connected by ethernet backhaul as default? If not, how do I do this and will the ap use the same ssid as the root ap?

Thanks

    Hi user,

    When your two WBE660S devices connect to the switch via Ethernet, they are connected as wired backhaul, not wirelessly. There is no need to do anything to enable Ethernet/wired backhaul.

    The connection only changes to wireless backhaul when Smart Mesh is active AND one of the two WBE660S devices' Ethernet uplink goes down. To learn more about Smart Mesh and wireless backhaul, please refer to the FAQ.

    When your two WBE660S devices are registered to the same Nebula site without any tags, the SSIDs broadcasted from both WBE660S devices will be identical by default.
