 My wi-fi calling would drop out when I'd leave the range of my office
 router, but since using the same frequency on the main router and my
 AP, it's more stable. I thought you were supposed to use different
 frequencies.

 There is an AP-hopping protocol, but most people in the forums don't
 recommend it - sounds like it's overkill for a home application.

 As for now, I'm running a different SSID for the upstairs AP and main
 downstairs router - the downstairs router seems to get pretty good
 coverage all by itself.
