I'm just setting up a network in a student house with 10 rooms, 3 floors. Configuration at the moment is as follows:
- Virgin Media 100mb Cable
- Virgin SuperHub on ground floor broadcasting on SSID1
- Second AP(Edimax) wired on middle floor broadcasting on SSID2
These two networks server all 3 floors fairly well but I was wondering whether it would be better to setup an individual SSID for each floor (both the routers allow me to configure up to 3 ssids on each!).
Would this help with speed issues, i.e if someone on the top floor is downloading/streaming etc, this wouldn't affect someone on the middle floor on a different SSID
Or, will it have no effect?
Thanks,
Dave
