It'll work either way. with seperate ssid or with the one ssid function.
i've got an honeywell smart thermostat and was able to set it up with orbi. I also got it working with my RAX200. If you've got it programed to a certain ssid/password, just keep it the same when you switch routers/extenders and it should auto-link to them.
