SSID Two Times visible

[ibrahim_bilmis]

Hi Community,

Just configured an AP122x. With a simple SSID (WPA2 Persponal with ascii pw).. After deploying the policy, I see the SSID twice.. One is named as aspected and the other is the same name with a number '2' added.. Never seen this behavior on Aerohive AP's before.. Can somebody explain me what is different on an AP122x? The strange thing is,.. I'm able to connect on the second SSID as well 😞

ex.

"ABC "

"ABC 2"

Thanks,

Bram,

Hello Sam,

That's it.. I realized that I see the SSID's only on my laptop and my smartphone.. And not on another devices (regardless wat type it is .. ). So, It seems that I had a previous wifi profile with the same name.. the new SSID has a same name, but another authentication sequence.. from MAC+PW changed to PW only, I couldn't test it onsite yet, but mostpowerfully that would be the reason..

Also, could you tell us what client device you are using when you see that second SSID?

I'm sorry for the slow response, I wasn't able to find any reason for this in your tech data so I've been asking around to see if this has been seen before. I'd like to to either turn off the 2.4GHz radio to confirm this is coming from the Aerohive AP, or to reset the AP and then push a complete configuration to make sure we aren't seeing any old objects in play.

Could we try disabling the 2.4GHz to see if it's still there? That would help narrow down where the SSID is coming from. The command "show ssid" should show any SSID that the AP knows about, could we get that screen shot of the configuration? Also if you could send tech data from an AP in this location to communityhelp@aerohive.com I can check the running configuration for you.
