Two access points w/ same SSID - different frequency

[ShivP]

Hi,

Basically, I have a recently purchased RT-AC87U. This is the router (DHCP), which then splits to two rooms, one of which has a router with DHCP disabled acting as an access point. It's a Wireless G 2.4Ghz Billion jobbie, and I recently changed the SSID to be the same as the AC87U. However, I'm not getting very good roaming on the phone(s) from the AP to the router. Is this because they are different frequencies?

Thanks,

Shiv

Yep. Different passwords

The roaming works, its just not very good or very quick (smooth is what I'm trying to say)

With the different channels, does the different frequency not basically make it a different channel?
