seamless wifi

Hello,

 

No doubt this has been asked countless time but I've just connected a PLW1000 poweline to provide wifi signal upstairs in our house.  We now have wifi upstairs but is there anyway to set things up so I don't have to change wifi networks when I walk between upstairs and downstairs as the modem's wifi signal is still much stronger downstairs?

    Configure the same network names on the router and the PLW1000. The problem is that wireless clients try to stick with a network name (SSID) once connected. Still, in absence of consumer routers and PLW1000 supporting seamless roaming (consumer makers claim this as wireless mesh), there can be more delay until the client does re-associate with a different access point.
