Free tech & internet tip: Same SSID, wired backhaul if you can (step 6 of 6 from "Home Wi-Fi That Reaches the Bedroom").
Put a node in the hallway toward the dead room, not inside the dead room as the only hop through three walls. Ethernet between nodes is the grown-up version. Wireless backhaul works if the node can still hear the router well.
You passed when the bedroom stream does not buffer and you have one network name, a guest network, and the passphrase is not admin. Label the gateway with the Wi-Fi name so the next human is not guessing.
You'll need
- One main SSID
- Guest on
- Worst room walk-tested after the change
