There's nothing wrong with using the same SSID / password no. Devices
should switch between routers when they use the same SSID, though they
may not be very intelligent about leaving the weaker signal and joining
the stronger signal. If the AP has the ability to set a "minimal power
allowed" th
So there is nothing wrong with using the same SSID and password as
the primary wifi you are trying to extend?
