That kind of breaks down when you consider the fact that Wifi Networks can span multiple APs, and each AP can be running multiple Wifi Networks. For example a corporate or education campus where you have multiple APs for coverage, and then might have several SSIDs xyz-network, xyz-guest, xyz-lab that are running on every AP.
- x1798DE 12y agoIf we were using an SSH-type model, there's no particular reason why APs which you control which share an SSID can't also share a private key. If you are the administrator of the APs and you want them all to be seen as the same network, you could just move the appropriate keys onto the appropriate routers. Running multiple networks is the same thing - generate one key per SSID and duplicate them across all APs. According to the other comments, apparently something like this is already a feature in WPA2, so evidently it doesn't break down too much.
