Turn Three Connections Into One

senordingdong

I have what I hope is a simple question.

I have a horizon box, and used some power line and a second modem to get signal upstairs, and I have a Belkin signal range booster that i'd like to use in the attic.

The problem is that each devices appears on the connections list as three separate connections, which would be fine except some rooms get better signal from different connections and it becomes a pain with wireless devices,

Can anybody tell me what I have to synchronize all three so that they appear as one?

Replicate the SSID exactly over all access points
Replicate the PSK(Password) exactly over all access points
Use WPA2 on all...

Set the APs to use DIFFERENT channels though, or they'll degrade each other.

Your devices will then roam *reasonably* smothly, but its rarely super smooth without much more expensive commercial equipment.

Windows roaming, good.
Android roaming, ok.
IOS/OSX roaming, bad, really needs forced handoff.

Android will depend on the firmware, some handsets have the threshold wayyyy too low.

The latest Apple devices handle it much better than Android

use channels 1 6 and 11 for good separation
