I've done this with Netgear routers. I can't recall the exact steps, but
it=
was about setting different channels and a few other configurations but it=
does work. Much easier than my original setup with a different name. It do=
esn't move from point to point so well but the same AP does.

I did a Google search on it. Tons of stuff on how to do this.

If you have more then one access point in a house, a really nice feature
to=
have is roaming - so you can move about the house and devices automaticall=
y/ quickly move from one AP to another without dropping network
connections=
. This is a very common feature on 'enterprise' networks but less common
in=
homes. If you setup Apple APs with a network with the same name and securi=
ty setting, you can seamlessly move between them. I believe that the APs
ta=
lk to each other over the wired network to achieve this. I haven't had
much=
success with other brands of network hardware - such as Netgear.
