Question : Problem: Cisco Aironet 1250 / 1252 Access Point Configuration Help

We just purchased a couple Cisco 1252 AP's to replace our old Linksys AP's that kept dropping wireless connections and poor performance.  All we are wanting to do is install 2 of these AP's in our office.  One on the first floor at one end of the building and one on the second floor of the opposite side.  Using the web interface it is easy to configure simple WEP using the Express Security section.  However selecting 40bit WEP only provides connectivity up to 54mb we are wanting to utilize the full 300mb connection speed on both the 2.4GHz Antenna and 5GHz antenna.  On our old AP's we just selected WPA-Personal.  We don't have a radius server or any sort of authentication server.  Frankly we aren't too concerned about that.  We just want basic security with a password to get on and the ability to utilize the full 300mb connectivity speed of 802.11n.  We also want to be able to assign the same SSID to both AP's so that our entire office is covered and people don't have to connect to different SSID's.  I was told setting up multiple AP's using the same SSID is fine and that the computer will  stay connected to the one with the best signal strength.  please help.  This should be a simple answer for anyone familiar with Cisco AP's.

That's a configuration example on configuring WPA2 on the AP. Just change from WPA2 to WPA and you can use it in your scenario.
