Same SSID for multi sites
Hi there,
i do have same company with several sites. I would like to setup wi-fi with same ssid and password for all company and all sites. So, when users go from site to site, they do not need to join on each of wifi networks. I have created site one with a specific ssid and added AP on 2nd site and trying to add them to same ssid. It is not working. I get message that new aps are on on the same ssid network.
Is this something i can do or it is not supported at all?

Any answer on this from WG or should i open a case for it?
Since no one has answered your question, best to open a support incident.
When you get an answer from support - please post it for others to find.
Bruce - that is more of technical question than a issue. That is the reason we did not open a ticket for it.
Thanks for your answer.
Hi dritanb and Bruce. To do this in the Wi-Fi Cloud (Secure or Total Wi-Fi license required), simply open the Discover app, and expand the Locations (Navigator) where you can create any number of Locations/folders to organize your APs. When you move APs into a folder, they will (by default) inherit the configuration from the folder they are within (and child folders inherit from parents, etc.). Here's a link on the Folders in Discover: https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/help-center/en-US/Content/en-US/Wi-Fi-Cloud/discover/dashboard/dashboard_main.html
Once you have your APs in the folder(s) you'd like, click Configure > Wi-Fi > SSID and it's only a few clicks to set the SSID name, password, and turn it on. Now all APs in that folder should automatically pick up the new configuration within a few minutes.
