I am little confused about what SSID to use when adding an Access Point. My wireless router covers the downsators part of my house fairly well but the signal upstairs is very weak. In a seperate thread I was advised that hard wiring an AP to the router is the best way to extend the wirless (rather than a repeater). So if I add an AP, do I use the same SSID as the main router or a different one? Do the clients get confused if the router and one or more APs are on the same SSID? It seems I could use a new SSID upstairs but then its like a new network. I'd arther use the same SSID if it does not cause other problems.
