Assuming you want continiois coverage, same channel is actually best,
unless you can go cross-band, which impacts roaming.
The number of people who don't understand this, and instead want to
talk about "3 non-overlapping channels" and other cr*p is amazing.
Same ESSID is what you want, too.

I am, and it actually is just that. If you already have UTP ports
within 300' the AP locations, it's by far the most effective route -
then you only have to worry about channelization and overlap.
That's what I was thinking: isn't it a problem to have to APs with
same SSID (and maybe the same channel) in reach of each other?
Don't the clients get confused? Or are the drivers usually smart
enough not to flap between the two?
Sorry, I'm just curious...
