Wi-Fi Reinforcing Home?

At home it is currently so that our "router" in the basement at the fuse box sits. Since we in the upper floors only little or no connection got get us "repeater" connected on the ground floor and first floor. However, it is so that they are displayed separately in the Wlan menu z.B. On the phone.

So I always have to change the wlan network with my mobile phone when I go upstairs to get a better signal, it is similar to the printer if I want to print from my laptop via the Alan network I have to connect to the wlan connected to the printer connect. This can be very stressful especially when working.

Now to my question it is possible to set the repeater so that they (I do not know if that's right what I say now so please no bad comments or something) I think the same IP address or something like the router and in case only the main router is displayed and the repeaters only amplify this signal from the main router.

and you might have tips on how I change something or hiring.

and thank you in advance for all helpful answers

Each device in a network needs its own IP. So also every repeater. You will then always log in to the device that has the strongest reception. Once entered in the terminal this looks for itself the routing device.

No network wiring in the house?

If you currently have different networks then this is not a repeater…

So what kind of devices are they?

would be interesting for you a "mesh" wlan… Since you can wander around, always connect you with the strongest Wi-Fi signal, all a single network… Etc.

Optimal cables would be up and there if necessary WLAN-AP dranstecken

But I always have to manually switch between the routers depending on the reception

You have to change the SSID. It must be the same as that of your router.

(The "SSID" is, so to speak, the name that appears on the devices when you select the WLAN).

We already have several Lan connections up to these are connected to these "repeaters" form then but so to speak their own WLAN.

I already saw that with the Wlan mesh, but I would have to continue to invest money, but I just wanted to look for another solution.

And that would work with the access point then?

Smartphones and tablets usually do that automatically, but sometimes this does not work for laptops and PCs. Is just the way.

SSID and password must be the same. However, not all devices themselves can do the client handover between the access points, older devices in particular stay stuck on the same access point forever, until at some point the connection breaks down. Unfortunately is not nice but also the only thing you get home with reasonable effort.

No, that depends. If the device does not recognize the network as one and the same because the other APs do not match the SSID or the encryption, cell phones will not switch over. Only when they lose the connection to a network they connect again and then with the strongest.

In addition, a client handover can't do many devices by itself, as this behavior can occur even if the SSID and settings of the APs are the same.

Yes that is correct. The problem can be improved if you set up the devices not simply as a repeater, but as an access point.

Then there are no repeaters but WLAN access points. All you have to do is give the same SSID to all access points and set the encryption and password uniformly.

Then all you have to do is hope that your devices can handle a client handover, which should be the case with modern devices.

I think there are access points, the TE refers to them only as a repeater, otherwise it would be unusual for a repeater to change the SSID. In addition, he has written in a comment above that hang on a LAN cable.
