I took a class last year, industrial 1 day class for work for UniFi. They gave us a free UniFi AP.
My home set up is an ASUS RT-AXE7800 router. (all in one router/AP/switch)
Our property has the main house, and a separate studio. WiFi couldn't reliability reach both with the WiFi router, so I ran 2 CAT 6a cables from the studio back to the main house demarcation point and plugged them into the ASUS router. (opposite side of the house) 1 cable is the wife's computer, and the other cable is the UniFi AP.
Suffering from Dunning Kruger affect, (over confident) I tried to set up a seamless wifi where my wife could go from house to studio seamlessly without switching networks (primarily for her smartphone). I ended up with 2 SSIDs.
due to a router "reset" (another story) i am having to redo my network setup.
This time around,
I was wondering if it's possible to get the Unifi AP that's hard wired to the ASUS router, to have the same SSID as the Asus router.
The goal being if a wifi device is happy on the house WiFi and then goes to the studio, the wifi will seamlessly transmission to that AP. Like a cell phone tower while driving down the freeway.
Thanks in advance
