I am looking for help with optimizing my wireless setup. I have a Linksys E2000 in the front of house in AP mode. In the center of the house, I have an RT-N66U as primary router/gateway. Finally, in the back of the house, I have another Linksys E2000 in AP mode.
My first question is should have 1 SSID or more? I would like to use 1 SSID if possible. Would there be any benefit to having separate SSID's for 2.4 and 5 gHz?
The AP are single band, so I plan putting them both in 5 gHz mode. Should I use the same channel for all 5 gHz radios or different channels for each? Specific channel(s) recommendations? How about 'Auto' mode?
For the 2.4 gHz radio, is there any reason to initially select one channel over another? I've always heard not use channel 1, but I don't know if there's any validity to that advice.
