How are the buildings powered? Would powerline Ethernet work?
(Possibly, if they share a transformer.) That's how I get it to the
back end of the house. Two Airports then provide one network
that way.

Not if my wired network is firewalled behind the network the AP is on. MAC
address authentication on both networks along with SHA-256 based certs.
It's not infallible but it's tough enough to make most script kiddies and
others move on to far easier prey, like my neighbors.

Once you've connected an AP to the network, it's all exposed - no more
security for you!

A lot of devices allow preferential selections, or give priority to the first
AP they connect to. Otherwise, it would be a toss-up.

Best practices in the industry allow the same SSID for multiple access points
using the same credentials, but that's more for the ability to roam and move
around freely in an environment.
My concern would how a device would discern between the 2.4 and 5.0 APs?

IMO it is better to be able to choose which freq. to use, so unique SSIDs
PWD can be the same. I believe that 2.4 has longer reach, but 5 gives
greater throughput. Select accordingly.

Thanks Craig, that sounds like a decent strategy. I don't know what
frequencies (Kenneth) the old Wi-Fi router used. Where's Dan blather when I
need him?
It seems to me that if the two router radios broadcast the same SSID on
different frequencies, the Wi-Fi client can decide for itself which

Even if it was set to the old network name you will still have to probably

How many other wireless networks are there? There is only a handful of
channels out there. Sounds more like you are at the end of your range
however, perhaps a range extender is in order?

How old is it? The cheaper wireless routers, which is typically what a
telephone company will provide, only live a few years. You can replace it with
similar quality for half the cost, and configure it to work with their network.

No cordless phone, but a wireless raingage and wireless doorbell.
Ping time goes all over the scale from one minute to the next(15ms to

Possible, if you have not set up any security. The wireless router may be
keeping a log of who has been logging in.

Hans,
How about a microwave or a cordless phone?
Depending on the type of access point you have, devices like these can
