Hi Bill, Why isn't it a good idea to use the same SSID on the same network for multiple APs? I did that at home because we had more places in the house to fit with APs and it worked pretty well. Greetings, Simon Am 25.08.2017 um 23:38 schrieb Bill Dengler:
Yes, they would.

Hi bill With this approach would it not mean that users would have to manually select a different network on the device depending on where they were in the home? Luke

In almost all cases, a wireless repeater is the wrong approach. The best thing to do is wire the router and additional access points over ethernet (patch panel), power line, etc. Each WAP should have its own SSID, so that roaming can be easily controlled from the device side. Devices tend to hold onto access points they’re already connected to, even if a stronger signal is available. This can be partially solved by controlling the signal strength (roaming assistant on Asus professional tab) but I’ve found that separate SSIDs and an ethernet patch panel is the best approach for large homes.

Hello,
I'd like to get some advice from those who have set up home repeaters for wireless range increases. Currently I have two routers, my primary an Asus RT-N66U running Merlin firmware and a Linksys not sure running DD-WRT. I've also got a buffalo that I'm going to convert.
I am wanting to set up the buffalo and the Linksys as repeaters. I am quite confused as to how to do this as my primary router is putting out three different SSID's, the main 2.4 GHZ, the primary 5 GHZ, and a guest network on 2.4 GHZ.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks. Dave.
