GWN76xx Master/Slave Architecture Guide
CREATE AND MANAGE NETWORK GROUPS
After creating Master/Slave architecture using deployed GWN76xx access points, It is possible to create
different Network Groups on the Master GWN76xx and select specific GWN76xx Slave Access Points as
members in the Network Group.
Information
Network Group:
Each set of devices communicating directly with each other is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). Several
BSSs can be joined together to form one logical WLAN segment, referred to as an Extended Service Set
(ESS). A GWN76xx group is an Extended Service Set. A Group also can contain different SSIDs.
SSID:
A Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name given to each ESS. It is also the primary name associated with
an 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) including home networks and public hotspots. Client devices
use this name to identify and join wireless networks. SSIDs are case-sensitive text strings. The SSID is a
sequence of alphanumeric characters (letters or numbers) with a maximum length of 32 characters.
The following steps show how to create and manage network groups:
1. Login to the Master GWN76xx AP web GUI and navigate to Network Group->Network Group.

2. The GWN76xx has a default network group named group0 (enabled by default). Click on to
edit it, or click on to add a new network group if needed.
