I agree.
When homes do not, or can not have structured wiring, the powerline
adapters are the next best thing. They have some limitations, but beat
the tar out of using repeaters.

Take a look at Homeplug or BPL devices. We recently reviewed a few
Homeplug v2 adapters with WiFi. They performed quite nicely. We are
using them to extend IPTV throughout houses that can't be wired. In
most cases we could perform 4 HD multicast streams. So between 40-60mb/s.

The Apple extender thing is basically WDS. It works better than
some, but it's still an extender. Problem is, you can almost
never tell how good or bad the signal is between the extender and
the base station.
I just have a blanket prohibition against the use of extenders.
More problems than they are worth.

The best I’ve seen in a house so far is Apple implementation.
It’s probably the best and easiest, and the customer does it
themselves.
I wired a person’s main floor from their basement, which had the
Apple Time capsule.
His computer did 100/100 and so I put the extender in between the
computer and the wall on the main floor.
Then is computer still did around 90+Mbps (I think the extenders
are only 100Base T FDX) and his iPhone6 did the same wirelessly
at 98Mbps.
I don’t know much about Apple, so the customer, who was also not
very technically inclined, just loaded up the Apple App on his
phone, and it auto discovered the new extender, added it to the
network topology and BAM, done.
He also had an extender on the top floor.
Easiest solution ever.
Is there anything like this for non-Apple people??

We've generally done one SSID with success.
At convention centers I do different because iOS had problems way
back.

I have an installer that may have gotten a bit carried away

Looks like we have one wireless router and 4 AP scattered
around the
house. I'm going over there on Monday to try to see if I can get
these configured so they are not stepping on each other.
Trying to figure out if I want to name all the SSID's to be
the same
or name them differently. Any pro's or con's either way?
