The main DSL modem/router is in the basement and its WiFi range is very weak on the upper floors. So we placed a AP on the top floor that has a CAT to the router. Now we set it up with the same settings on a SSID and it seems to work, though we are not sure and my brother (it is his house) claims he's had some weird experiences with the WiFi and router since. He's no expert so I have no idea if that is connected or based on his misunderstandings somehow.
So the idea is that when he walks with a wireless device (phones and tablets) outside the range of either router it would pick up the other one. So connections on the upper floors are now better, but perhaps the new AP just rules the WiFi and the original router is not really working.
I remember having random disconnects one time while in the basement on a wireless, not sure if connected to this issue.
Is there something wrong here and is this possible at all?
