I have three WAPs in my house each using different SSIDs. I find it very annoying that when I move from one part of my house to another I have to manually switch the WiFi connection on my devices to get a better signal.
I am questioning whether I should have assigned the same SSID to all of the WAPs instead of the way I did it. Would this accomplish anything to account for roaming in my house?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Here is my current configuration...
1. Modem to Router/AC1900 WAP configured as follows:
SSID1: 2.4GHz (private)
SSID2: 5.0GHz (private)
SSID3: 2.4GHz (guest)
SSID4: 5.0 GHz (guest)
2. The AC1900 Router/WAP connects to an 8 port switch which eventually feeds into a pair of AC1200 WAPs configured as follows:
AC1200 WAP1:
SSID5: 2.4GHz (private)
SSID6: 5.0GHz (private)
AC1200 WAP2:
SSID7: 2.4GHz (private)
SSID8: 5.0GHz (private)
