Network Config Question -- APs

I have a D-Link router (DIR-655 HW Version B) and two D-Link DAP-1522 (HW version A) access points that I have hard connected to the router and which expand the range of my wireless Internet coverage. I have Qos enabled in the router, but should it also be enabled in the two APs, and if so, how should it be set up?
Many thanks!
 
It depends on what you are trying to QoS. Also QoS doesn't work all that well on a shared medium like wireless and QoS only has an affect on a choke point on the network for outbound only.
 
Thanks. I will just turn off QoS. I haven't used it, and I haven't noticed any issues with it off.

One further question. The two APs have their own SSID, and the router has a different one. However, DHCP is off on the APs. Is there any reason they can't have the same SSID as the router? When I was setting up the network, I was advised to set the APs to one SSID and the router to a different one. But I would think they should be able to all have the same SSID, provided that DHCP remains off on the APs.

Thanks.
 
Use the same SSD for all Wireless but configure each one to its own channel.

Usually Ch-1, 6, and 11 are preferred.
