    Hi ,

    Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community.

    To get both SSIDs in the same network need to set up wireless network in bridged to AP LAN with required frequency band(2.4 GHz or 5 GHz).

  • Hi Yash,

    In XG85w and XG86w , i have tested as below,

    In Wireless network


    ->Create GeneralOffice :  frequency band set to be 2.4 and 5 GHz

    ->Create MeetingRoom :  frequency band set to be 2.4 and 5 GHz

    In Access Point 

    -> Under advanced setting | Band: There is ONLY option to indicate 2.4 OR 5 GHz 

    Question:

    So in wireless network , frequency band with 2.4 and 5 GHz will ONLY broadcast 2.4 if i HARDCODE in advanced setting under Band ?

    Does XGw XGSw model only have a single Wi-Fi radio to broadcast 2.4 or 5 GHz and cannot physically broadcast simultaneously ?
