I have two buildings that are connected to each other via fiber. In
building 1 I have a wireless router. In the second building I want to
connect a wireless access point via cat5. Is there a way to make
both wireless networks have the same broadcast name and share the same
security settings? I want the users to be able to go back and forth
without changing networks.

It depends on the wireless router and AP model. In my company, we have Cisco
1200 and 1300 wireless APs in 5 buildings All of tem using the same SSID and
same domain authentication.

Hi
It should not be a problem. It might work better if you assign to the
Wireless Router/AP different channel in each location.
