Keith,
I believe you set the network name the same, but the channels to be
*different*. Apparently using channel #s 1, 6 & 11 (or is it 12?) give
the best coverage with minimal bleeding onto each other and subsequent
interference.
I've not done it personally (IIRC I read it somewhere) but a hotel I
stayed in recently had it's wireless connections configured that way, so
that seems to confirm the theory :-)
HTH,
Tim.
