Default wifi question

I've never managed it, besides won't they have different addresses?


While wifi access points may well have an ip address for access to their
configuration pages from a web browser, their actual wifi functionality
mostly happens down at layer 2, and so don't operate with IP addresses
at all. They are basically like a bridge or network switch, routing
packets based on mac addresses.

Can you
not just use a Mesh system?


If you have the right hardware, then that is also an option, but a
fairly new one. There are many multiple AP networks out there that are
not meshing.
