WiFi Pods
So my WiFi Pod arrived last night about 9pm, I'd read on another forum that there was no need to merge the bands before plugging the Pod in, in fact the instructions that came with it just said plug the pod in nothing at all about merging first.
Plugged in it seemed to complete the process in around 10 minutes this is where I then started to panic. My 5ghz band had disappeared or I thought it had.
When I got the hub a few years back I had renamed the SSIDs to for example 123456-2 and 123456-5 to distinguish between the 2.4ghz and 5ghz this is what confused me because the SSID it was using as the now merged bands was 123456-2. A few tests later and I knew it was this using both as required.
It turns out the during the Pod set up it merges the two bands. Then I had to go through the process of typing the WiFi password in every damn device I have.
Anyway it seems to be doing the job now.
Hope this helps anyone else who sets these things up and clears any confusion for you.
