Is it good to give routers the same SSID?

Question

System administration

There are several routers in one, large room. I want to give them the same SSID in order to be less bothered with prescribing on devices. Do I understand correctly that when leaving one router there will be an automatic transfer to another, which has a better signal?

Answer 1

Well, in general, yes. But it will not look like an uninterrupted signal throughout the dot coverage area. This will be a break in communication with one point and an attempt to communicate with another.
If you need uninterrupted coverage, google for the phrase "relay function in the router". The word "repeater" in the request can be changed to "repeater" or "repeater".
It is called differently in different routers.
Conventional Wi-Fi hotspots have this feature more often than routers. Support by the original (piece of iron from which the entire signal will be distributed) router of this function is optional. The main thing is that the rest of the pieces of iron support it.
It should also be noted that the load on users is calculated approximately like this: x + y + 1 for each next piece of iron. X-customers, Y-clients of the point that connects to this piece of iron through the second point, 1-second point. So the iron must be selected appropriate.

Normal, allowed.
Depends on what you want to achieve.
Do I understand correctly that when leaving one router there will be an automatic transfer to another, which has a better signal?Basically yes, but not so much.
The WIFi standard does not include the concept of roaming at all, therefore, by connecting to one access point, your client will hang on it as long as possible, that is, as long as there is a connection, despite the fact that there is a more accessible point nearby.
As soon as the connection is interrupted, it will start searching for a network, and select the point with the best signal.
This is the default.
But there are special access points that are managed centrally - corporate solutions from Cisco, Ruckus, Ubiquiti.
Roaming can be arranged in them - that is, the controller sees which of the points has the best signal from the client, and forces the current point to forcibly terminate the connection.
But even in the case of ordinary points, this is quite a good solution, but there will be disconnections during transitions, and the quality will not always be optimal.
If you do this, then try to ensure that the access points overlap each other as little as possible.
That is, carefully choose the installation location, and turn down the transmitter power.

Answer 3

they told you everything correctly and also - make sure that the points on different channels are

Answer 4

ZYXEL can do roaming, there are several routers in the building and all with the same SSID, there is roaming between them.
