Question : Problem: Best way to setup two Cisco Aironet 1100's

I have a client site that I'm setting two Aironet 1100's, one on each floor.  Both units will be connecting back to the main switch via Cat5e.

What is the best way to set this up for optimum coverage?  I've setup two 1100's in a repeater configuration, but was wondering if I should set this up as two seperate AP's.  Should I used the same SSID on each AP so that the client's can roam from floor to floor?

Yes, set them both up as individual AP's, and use the same SSID/WEP keys on both so that they can move anywhere in the building.
For optimum coverage, you really need to perform a complete site survey, and make sure that each one is on a different channel.
