Spare sky router, use to improve wireless range?

Different channel is the conventional wisdom - same channel only serves to cause interference, it doesn't help with swapping between APs.

The only time I'd bother with multiple SSIDs is if you want strong signal in either end of the house, but you don't tend to move them around - ie a machine at each end of the house, two SSIDs mean they'll always connect to the closest AP. If you have any machines that move between the areas covered by each AP you're probably best off with one SSID for simplicity of setup - you only need to connect once.

Oops, I got carried away rushing my post. For chamnel it should have read "different channel".
