Yep, that is exactly what we have had to do sometimes.  Get both devices
including the 802.1x device on the same SSID and then after all is working
move the 802.1x back to the preferred SSID.  Sort of a pain.   Many vendors
don’t care about layer 3 solutions.

Different SSIDs



Hey there,



We do the same thing at LU, but on two separate vlans utilizing Aruba
airgroup. Unfortunately, Google in their wonderless glory made it a
dependency for initial setup, and baked it into the app.



To my knowledge there is no away around it, as it requires seeing the
devices on the same SSID before finalizing configuration.  I would love to
hear if anyone has figured a way around it as well. I attempted to reach
out to our google rep with no avail.



Once configured, you can move the handset to a separate ssid/network.

Hi All,



We keep our smart devices and student networks on two separate SSIDs. The
backend is the same network and hands out the same IPs. Recently, the
Google Home app doesn't seem to want to complete the setup until it sees
that the phone and Google Home Mini are on the same SSID. I can't see that
we're blocking anything, so I'm at a lost of what to do next.



Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue? If not, any tips to get this
to work? We have an Aruba wireless environment.
