No. We do it in the office. But we also run the same SSID across our entire network.

We back our AP’s up nightly, so in the event we have to replace an AP, we just pull the latest config, flash the new radio and go install. This works well for us and we do not have any real issues with this. On your situation, you could do the same and force a split between your AP’s.

We’re now moving to unique SSIDs on each AP after weighing the pros and cons. As far as same SSID on every AP: Pros: 1. Generic config works everywhere. Our backend systems can lock them to an AP, or leave them unlocked as needed. We initially leave them unlocked until installed then lock them. 2. If an AP dies, easy to unlock and let them roam to another AP. 3. Once an AP comes back, we can re-lock them and scripts will kick them from the “incorrect” AP. Cons: 1. Initial association times can get long as they try multiple APs before finding the “correct” AP. With AC and GPS/Fixed Frame, the association time grew immensely – like 15 minutes or more in some cases. 2. Someone kindly pointed out that WPA-EAP is not designed to be a “door,” but rather a “lock and key.” Our install procedures have changed so we’re always getting into the web interface and choosing the best SSID now. Overall, the transition has been smooth, and the very fast association times are saving the installers and support technicians lots of time waiting for radios to associate. It’s not as convenient in an outage, but we’ll try to avoid those however we can.

The customers all rebooted and they've been appropriately connected to the correct AP for the last few days. Has anyone ever changed the SSIDs to make sure they're locked to the right AP? (I'm not willing to do lock to MAC). Or have you just left multiple APs with the same SSID and things turned out all right?
