How to correctly make a WiFi repeater on Mikrotik?
Good afternoon!
There was a need to build a single WiFi network in a fairly large area. 5 Mikrotiks are used (all of them are connected by cables to a single domain).
At first I set everything up through Capsman2. It started up, client devices switch between access points when moving, but at the same time, in fact, they jump between 5 SSIDs, which happens, albeit quickly, but sometimes the RDP connection breaks, and this is already very undesirable. Ideally, one ssid is needed.
I started googling, and as a result, I noticed that relatively recently, the ability to configure a WiFi repeater was added to Router OS (in winbox -> Setup Repeater).
Схема расположения микротиков такая: Mikrotik -> Mikrotik -> Mikrotik -> Mikrotik -> Mikrotik (т.е. они вытянуты примерно в одну линию, здание одноэтажное). Возможно ли в такой конфигурации настроить рипитер? Т.е. когда повторитель должен цепляться не к главному wifi, а к другому повторителю (который уже в свою очередь цепляется к главному wifi)? Т.е. примерно так: Repeater -> Repeater -> WiFi -> Repeater -> Repeater. Может быть при этом вылезут какие-нибудь подводные камни?
Либо посоветуйте способ получше?

Repeater is definitely bad.
And in this situation, the use of a repeater is definitely not correct.
You need several points connected by cable, with one SSID.
but at the same time, in fact, they jump between 5 SSIDsWhy do you need 5 networks?
