Mesh settings - how is an AP configured as ROOT ?

Ekky

Hi,

I was trying to test the Mesh network settings with 2 AP55C. A warning is indicating that a root AP is needed but I can't see how to enable it. Since I have transformed my SSID as a mesh wifi network, my client device is no more able to see the SSID.

And why ow the password field is indicated as "autogenerated" ?

Thanks

    Hi,

    All APs participating in mesh detect their roles automatically. An access point that can access cloud.sophos.com automatically becomes a root AP. The others become repeater APs. This network is afterwards only used for mesh purposes. Clients shouldn't and can't connect to it. That's also why the password is generated.

    You need to define an extra network which you then can use for your clients.

    We will improve documentation to cover that better. Finally we want to make mesh much more simple, but this is a longer-lasting task.

    Kind regards,

    Dirk Bolte
