My main router is a Linksys E3000 running DD-WRT, build 14929. However, it's located in the back of the house, so signal in the front can get pretty weak. I have a CAT5E cable running from that room to the front of the house, so I configured my old WRT54GL (also running build 14929) as a wireless access point up there.
Currently I have separate SSIDs for the E3000 and the WRT54GL. However, the whole point is to make wireless access available freely to any authorized device in range from whichever access point has the best signal. Should I keep the SSIDs separate, or should I set both SSIDs and wireless passwords the same? What are the advantages either way?
