Hi,
I've been working on my home network after my old R7000 died and could not be resurrected. In another thread here I've been advised to step up my game and get a R7800 which is more likely to utilize my gigabit connection through my NETGEAR CM1000 modem. I have ordered a R7800 so I can test the two before I return the R7000, or maybe even the R7800?
My network is used by my large family and friends and not by users very interested in how the the network works and should be used. They only get about it when it's down for some reason. I have always had Smart Connect enabled on the R7000 offering one SSID and it seems to like everyone have been getting on the appropriate frequency. I have not had to explain to my family that there are two SSIDs and that they are different. I see that the R7800 doesn't have Smart Connect. I have seem a couple of threads about this but none of them were conclusive. I would very much like to be able to have one SSID if at all possible, but will of course deal with two if I have to. Advice in this regard would be great.
