I honestly don't know why you are continuing to try to make the SSID
thing an issue. As I have said in a previous post, I already know
having one SSID and multiple AP's works... this is not in dispute. I'm
not interested in arguments or discussions revolving around this.

However, in one of your responses you did answer my question... which
happens to be the same answer as I got previously... so you have
confirmed what I wished to know.

Thank you for your input. I would be interested to know, just out of
curiosity, what your occupation is Mark, and what qualifications you
hold in the IT world. This is not for anything but sheer curiosity.

Thank you for your time.
