**hi every one
i have groove 5 ghz i connect it with ominiantenna 15 dbi . im using it as acess point .. my wireless network name (ssid) is STAR
OK
now i decide to purchase another groove and i would not like to give it name (STAR2)
the question is
if you have two access points and want them with one ssid …so…if any one search wireless networks he will see just one ssid ( STAR ) but not two ssid STAR+STAR2.
how can i do that with groove 5ghz
with thanks

Hi,
It’s no problem that you give the same SSID to two different access point, Because when you scan, you will see both of them with different MAC addresses.
Go and enjoy with MK. 
thanksss
but is there a way that i can combine the two access points to make as if they run as one access point
Simple answer: NO!
They at least need to have different MAC addresses.
But, you can make a simple fail-over scenario:
Set two MikroTik RouterBoards in AP Bridge, with the same settings. Turn OFF the radio on router 2, and leave it ON on the first.
Then, make a script that will ping the first router from the second router. If the first router is not answering (power failure, etc), then the script will turn on the radio on the second router.
This is, of course, only an example. If your first router gets unreachable to ping requests, it does not mean for sure that it`s radio is also turned off… So, use your imagination. With scripting, everything is possible
Actually I’m not profession in Wireless, But I think you it can be done in wireless Mesh topology.
Turn OFF the radio on router 2, and leave it ON on the first.
Then, make a script that will ping the first router from the second router. If the first router is not answering (power failure, etc), then the script will turn on the radio on the second router.
with my respect to you
but do you think that is very strange..if you use 2 access points the first is on the second is off .
Two AP’s have to be different in MAC! If you fake the MAC address of the second router, and set it the same as the first router, it will mess the whole thing up.
Turning off the radio on second router was just an idea, not a recommendation
Why you don’t like the idea to have two routers with the same SSID and different MAC addresses?
thank you very much..
i just want to get an idea about the issue
thank you again
