Powerline Wireless

Hello.  I am adding a second adaptor to an existing setup, it's enroute.  I have read up on adding this to the existing powerline (base by router, adaptor by TV) setup.  The next adaptor will be on the other side of the house solely for adding a wifi camera that is not picking up on the main wifi vs adding a wireless extender.  The SSID wifi on the first adaptor is different than the main house name.  

 

My question.... the second adaptor, do I broadcast the SSID the same as the first powerline wifi signal or do I give it a third name?  Whichever is safest or best for connectivity, only plan is to use for the camera.

 

Thanks!

CC

Some people do one thing, some do the other.

 

It is probably one of those "suck it and see" options. Try the one that you'd prefer, if it works, fine. If not try the alternative.
