The OP is clearly up against a NM issue in the selection criteria for the roaming case. Even if he solves that he won't be home free. Roaming isn't as simple as setting up two wireless routers with the same SSID. One needs to strip down one or both of the routers and turn them into a bridge so that all firwalling and NAT-ing is done consistantly no matter which wireless box one accesses. Then there is the issue of running spanning tree or something to prevent all AP's from retransimtting all packets they hear. Without that each AP pollutes the airwaves a bit by re-transmitting each packet it recieves. With overlapping AP coverage that is going to cause quite a bit of interference. My advice to the OP would be to get a better AP with a more powerful radio. Typical consumer junk is 15mW. Without looking too hard one can get a good 100mW - 300mW init for not much more.
