The Apple extender thing is basically WDS. It works better than some,
but it's still an extender. Problem is, you can almost never tell how
good or bad the signal is between the extender and the base station.
I just have a blanket prohibition against the use of extenders. More
problems than they are worth.

The best I’ve seen in a house so far is Apple implementation.
It’s probably the best and easiest, and the customer does it themselves.
I wired a person’s main floor from their basement, which had the Apple
Time capsule.
His computer did 100/100 and so I put the extender in between the
computer and the wall on the main floor.
Then is computer still did around 90+Mbps (I think the extenders are
only 100Base T FDX) and his iPhone6 did the same wirelessly at 98Mbps.
I don’t know much about Apple, so the customer, who was also not very
technically inclined, just loaded up the Apple App on his phone, and
it auto discovered the new extender, added it to the network topology
and BAM, done.
He also had an extender on the top floor.
Easiest solution ever.
Is there anything like this for non-Apple people??

We've generally done one SSID with success.
At convention centers I do different because iOS had problems way back.

I have an installer that may have gotten a bit carried away with the
home owner installing AP though out the house.
Looks like we have one wireless router and 4 AP scattered around the
house. I'm going over there on Monday to try to see if I can get
these configured so they are not stepping on each other.
Trying to figure out if I want to name all the SSID's to be the same
or name them differently. Any pro's or con's either way?
