UBNT amazes me with this, Im pretty sure the multi ESSID thread is the longest running active thread on their forum, yet they cant do it. Users have found ways to somewhat get it to happen, but not cleanly, but they dont have programmatic access to the device
I know this is not a complicated thing, almost every single wireless product on the market these days supports it in some form or another. I could see hiding behind the "well, it wont work with our proprietary wireless algorithm" I can see that on the commercial side, but the home devices? I doubt anyone on this list is turning that on on airrouters or gateways for customers since most customers end devices arent ubiquiti products. I think they dont do it strictly out of spite now On Wed, Dec 31, 2014 at 7:55 AM, Mike Hammett via Af <af@afmug.com> wrote: > They'll say, "We weren't aware anyone wanted that."

You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason.
