I have an interesting tech issue for which I'd love to get some input from others.
We have two homes. Our home in the desert is California, but we also have one on the coast in Oregon where we spend (totaled up) several months each year.
We travel back and forth with many of our devices, and some devices stay at one place or the other.
Both places have good Internet service with Wi-Fi. The CA home has a mesh, and the OR home (a much smaller dwelling) has a good router from the ISP. Both routers support guest networks, which we are using.
I'm contemplating changing the personal/private (e.g., non-guest) network in the OR home to be the same as our CA home. I doubt the devices will care that they're in different physical locations with different network gateways but the same network name and password.
Are there any reasons I should NOT do this? Does anyone else have experience doing this? Did it create any complications or issues?
All feedback welcome. ...thanks!
