At work we have seamless coverage in both plants. I made triangles from 1, 6 & 11. Keep the same channel on opposite sides from each other. Use the same ssid everywhere. Use the same encryption key and scheme everywhere. In our plant we have wifi voip phones and you can walk from end to end on the same phone call and never know when it switched from router to router and that covers 10 routers!

Before adding second router I would go through a door way to the converted room (formally a garage) all signal is lost! So can I use the same SSID setting on both ROUTERS? But use a Different Channel say 6 & 11? Will my portable devices automatically change channels with out loss of WiFi connection?? Currently using two different SSID names and I loose connection and have to change WiFi connection. Linksys/Cisco's support web page on the topic and they don't cover the SSID or Channel settings: http://tinyurl.com/ygyfhpb :David -- I live in my own little world. But it's OK. They know me here.
