Can the same SSID be configured across multiple WatchGuard AP devices?

Using the same SSID across multiple WatchGuard AP devices is a common practice in network configuration, particularly for providing seamless wireless connectivity in larger environments. By setting the same SSID across multiple access points, devices can automatically connect to the network without needing to manually switch networks when moving between different areas covered by those access points. This configuration allows for a unified network experience, making it easier for users to roam within the coverage area without interruptions.

Additionally, this approach enables consistent settings for security, policies, and network management across all access points, ensuring that all connected devices benefit from the same level of security and performance. This capability is fundamental for businesses and organizations that require reliable and accessible wireless networks, especially in large spaces like offices, schools, or public venues.

In scenarios not involving guest networks or VLAN configurations, the primary benefit lies in the simplicity and efficiency of managing a wireless network with a singular SSID, reinforcing why it's appropriate to use the same SSID across multiple devices.
