I am using 2 routers for WIFI coverage. The first router (RT1) is connected to the ISP modem and provides DHCP. The second router (RT2) is ethernet connected to the first router and has DHCP disabled. These routers are both dual band (2.4G, 5G) and have channel set up as 'auto'. The first router has SSID "RT1_24G , RT1_5G" and the second router has SSID "RT2_24G, RT2_5G". The setup is working fine.
When I search internet, I found people talking about these 2 routers should be on different channels. Can some some one help me to understand the reason behind it ? Is there any difference between using the same SSID and using 2 different SSID on the 2 routers.
