    hello, well i was always wondering, what is this made for (multiple SSID) ? i can enable up to 4 ssid's , yeah ok, but does it means that my speed will be shared between them other ssids or it will be the same? like for exp i have 7mb speed broadband, if i create another ssid , will they share the 7mb, like 3.5mb each ssid or it be the same, if it will be the same, so i dont really understand what is a purpose of this feature, please explain

    The 7Mb broadband will be shared by the all devices using the wireless router to connect to the internet, whether they are all using the same SSID or multiple ones to connect to the internet gateway doesn't really matter. Each SSID would not have fixed portion of bandwith, but it would be shared on demand so to speak.

    I can't really think of any reason for using up multiple SSIDs in a home network TBH, it would usually be in a larger organisations where there is a need for multiple networks with different security permissions etc.

    ok thanks for ypur reply, thats explains everithing to me...
    offtopic:
    im curently looking for an app that could split my bandwith, but unfortunately can't find one, the only app that i found was net limiter, but this is not what i am seeking, cause the app need to be installed on both pc, there reason im looking for such an app, cause im sharing my broadband with another person leaving with me, and when ever he starts to download from torrents, well you know whats happens,just to talk with a person is not an option, cause he pays the same price as i do, and the best option is to split the bandwith... so if any one out there knows of any app that could to this, please recommend it to me
