I would like to ask for advice in order to cover the whole building of WiFi. Currently the circuit is a Vdsl 100mbps and i got my router in basement. Each floor has an openwrt router acting as client, in order to give WiFi access, 5of them. Currently each floor has its own SSID and i would like to change it and have common SSIDs (2 of them) in each floor. One for IOT(192.168.1.0/24 )and one for the access to LAN (192.168.5.0/24). Ideally i would like to create the SSIDs on the main router and then be automatically created on the client OPEWRT routers, if possible, please.
I am stuck with the config, through LUCI and i am looking for some help please.

You can configure the same ESSID/ PSK on all (WDS/ 4addr) APs and distribute the samr broadcast domain that way. There is no provision in OpenWrt to configure other/ connected devices centrally.
I'm using similar setup with FB7362SL act as VDSL2 modem + AP (fast roaming) in basement and MR1800X 5/2.4 AX router upper flor .2.4 is fast roaming with same ssid 5ghz is for bandwidth hungry devices using separate ssid . It's stable
