Hi all,
I have a router which has both 2G and 5G wireless connections. Due to poor signal quality I also put a Netgear "extender" upstairs and another "extender" in the shed at the bottom of the garden.
I have different SSIDs on each device. For instance, my living room router is "myNet". The upstairs extender defaulted to "myNet_ext2G" and the shed I (predictably) called "shed".
I have found since setting this up that sometimes I have a poor wifi signal on my phone upstairs and quite often is it still clinging on to "shed" despite poor quality signal?
I wondered if there is any benefit (or detriment) to changing ALL the SSIDs to "myNet"?
Will this help mobile devices transition from area to area (or will it impede it?).
Many thanks for setting me straight on the correct way to approach this.
