No... they will only work on one combined SSID.

Hi Jbrennan

thanks, so I am to assume if I split the signal the pods will be useless unless I keep it as combined SSID as you mention

    Hi mistryjayesh, thank you for your posts. 

    There are a few requirements for WiFi Pods to work with our Hubs:

    •    The Hub must be in "Router mode" and not have been changed to "Modem mode"

    •    Channel optimisation must be left on

    •    The SSIDs must be the same and broadcast enabled

    •    The SSID must be password protected

    •    The passphrases of the SSIDs must match

    As long as all of the above points are all met, then the Pods should automatically connect to your Hub's Wi-Fi and begin broadcasting.

    If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact us.

    Thank you for your support jbrennand and legacy1 👍

    Regards,
    Daniel
