I have 3 routers that I log into. Home, work & RV. They are never within range of each other when turned on. The RV router is off when it is home. Is there any problem using the same ssid & password for all three routers?

I know it's not a problem connectiong to different ssid's on my phone. The problem is I'm starting to log in to my routers with other devices like Alexa & ESP3266 micro controllers. I have to flash the micro controlers with one ssid and password. My thoughts are, if all three routers had the same ssid and password, I could take the devices from one location to the other. They'd never know they had been moved. Then all devices would connect to any of the three routers.

the ssid shouldn't be a problem as long as you're only 'seeing' one or the other even then the only problem would be you being able to determine which is which. when we travel I often see more than one 'Xfinity' or 'Comcast'. but I like clean solutions so why not just append 'home', 'work' and 'rv' to your SSIDs as in: 'myrouter-home' and so on? passwords should not be an issue but you could use the same format by appending 'home', 'work' and 'rv' to the PW.

I have to flash the ssid and password to the micro controllers. I'd have to reflash them to change the name or password.
