Hi there, I have a spare wireless access point that I want to use to extend my wireless range. Now I know i could use WDS etc but I don’t want the decrease in bandwidth and I can easily get a network cable to it.

However I also don’t want to have to mess about with 2 SSIDs so what’s the best way to get these access points to work together? Just set the SSID/WPA key the same and leave them to it?

They are both Linksys units, one with tomato and the other with DD-WRT.

Thanks
