I have 2 R510, how do I configure the two R510 as one Access Point with same SSID. And it will just load balance the the traffic. Thanks.

Hi Sig, I'm pleased my response helped! 🙂Yes, that URL takes you to our Ruckus Unleashed support documentation area. Unleashed is a specifc variant of firmware for the APs known as 'controllerless'.  It will be perfect for your application.Thanks,Darrel.

Hi Darrel,Thanks for your input, I will try it out.From your link it leads to this one: https://docs.ruckuswireless.com/unleashed/200.1.9.12/t-EnablingLoadBalancingGlobally.htmlI suppose this should be the FW settings that you were talking about.Cheers!

Hi Sirch,For just two APs I'd recommend you use the Ruckus Unleashed firmware.  With Unleashed one of the APs will act as a controller and give you advanced features such as Client load balancing accros the APs.There is more information here: https://docs.ruckuswireless.com/unleashed/200.1.9.12/c-LoadBalancing.html
You do not need to enable SmartMesh unless one of the APs doesn't have a wired connection to the network.
Hope that helps,Darrel.
