Can I use same SSID with EX6100 as the R7000 router?

Question

The R7000 has low signal in my office. &nbsp;I want keep the SSID the same between both SSID's so we don't have to switch when moving within each room of the house.&nbsp;Can the EX6100 do this? &nbsp;Please let me know. &nbsp;Thanks.

Hi atomarchio,
&nbsp;
It's possible to change the SSID on the EX6100 to match the R7000 but it is not recommended for optimal performance.

&nbsp;
Also, please note the 2G and 5G cannot have the same SSID
