Hi all,

I'd like to say what I am trying to do is simple, hopefully it can be.

I have a Starlink Gen 2 router in my garage(The West side of the house). It is working perfectly, no issues. It is connected to a 5 port TP-Link gigabit switch which is located right next to it. The Starlink router puts out a WiFi network with internet which I'll called "StarlinkWifi".

I've run a 30m LAN cable through the roof into the lounge (the East side of the house), through the wall into a Mikrotik Audience. This audience puts out 2 wifi networks, I'll call it "Audience2G" and "Audience5G". There is a LAN cable that runs from the 2nd port on the Mikrotik Audience into my PC which runs really well.

Everything on the lounge side (the East side) of the house is pretty good on WiFi, most devices use the Audience5G network. When you go to the other side of the house where the bedrooms are (the West side), our phones try their best to stay on Audience5G which means when lying in bed, the WiFi is intermittent unless we manually switch to StarlinkWifi. Then when you go back to the East side of the house, WiFi is poor as it is still connected to StarlinkWifi and we manually have to switch to Audience5G.

So now I have a 2nd identical Mikrotik Audience.

I'd like to put this one next to the Starlink Router, configure it the same as the 1st Mikrotik Audience so that it can broadcast the same 2 WiFi networks, Audience2G and Audience5G. This way there should be Audience2G" and "Audience5G on the east and west sides of the house and we wouldn't even need to connect to StarlinkWifi.

But will this work? Can I simply copy the config from the 1st and apply it on the second - or use Winbox and manually set them up the same? Or will doing it this create two Audience2G and two Audience5G WiFi networks? Or will they combine them and make each one strong network?

Thanks for your help.
