Based from your post, it seemed that you will use the WAC124 as a standalone AP. About extending the wireless signal (you referred it as SSID), since you will deploy the WAC124 in your garage/workshop, be reminded that the operating distance or range of your WiFi connection can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your access point. For example, the thickness and number of walls the WiFi signal passes through can limit the range. As reference, kindly read page 268 of the WAC124 user manual here.
