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

The R7000 has low signal in my office.  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.

 

Can the EX6100 do this?  Please let me know.  Thanks.

Hi atomarchio,

 

It's possible to change the SSID on the EX6100 to match the R7000 but it is not recommended for optimal performance.

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