hardwire all components and use the same names on all devices
I am looking for a new router setup. I want to have the main router connected to the cable modem and all additional devices hardwired to the main router. I want the same network names and passwords of all devices (2.5, 5G and Guest). I want seamless transfer to the strongest device as I move around. What Netgear equipment works like this. I tried calling support but they only know what is given to then to read. They are not tech savvy enough to understand and answer.

Re: hardwire all components and use the same names on all devices
So does no one know the real answers to what I asked. I can not get any help from Netgear. Now I wonder about the community.
I currently use an Apple router. Unfortunately Apple does not make/sell their router product any longer.
I would like to have a main router connected to the modem and a second one connected via ethernet to that main router. I want both units to broadcast the same network names and passwords.
I want something I can set up locally, not logging in to any server for serup.
Everyone suggests mesh. But, I see so many issues with mesh including hardwired networks that I am very concerned. Now I see major issues with the newest software update for orbi/mesh.
So how do I get to a tech person to get real details?
