Hello

Hope someone can help in what I thought was an easy query, but on all forums and configurations I cannot find answer for multiple EAPs, in standalone, without hardwar controller, under 1 SSID...

I tried to set up 2 (hopefully adding a 3rd) EAP, as standalones, under 1 SSID. Each on a diff floor in one house.

Each EAP is connected directly (hardwired in the house) via RJ45 to a router, independently (each with it's own PoE). The router connected then to the I/Net provider, as normal.

I set up each EAP with the same SSID name, to allow for roaming between each floor without needing to change on my phone/device. The floors are quite far apart, so I expect little interference.

I am just not sure, given I set them both up with the same SSID, that my phone or other device(s) will pick up the best or strongest EAP and clearly I cannot check this (even having downloaded the Omada App). I do see them both in the App, with diff IP's (So DHCP is all fine).

If I add a 3rd EAP, (so yes, 3 floor house in case not obvious) and call it same SSID, am I doing this right?

Also they are currently set to Auto channel, and I see confusing advice on whether I need to select a diff channel for each. Theyt both operate on either 2.4 or 5 GHz

Apologies, if this is too basic a q's in this forum but really appreciate someone's clear advice

THanks!
