Well, I didn't want to get complicated - but I know exactly what you're
talking about because I see it every day.

The wife complained a lot about the iPad not switching over when her
Android phone did just fine at her study at the far end of the house
(where I placed the Linksys WRT54G repeater/extender).

I finally told her to just turn off WiFi on the iPad and turn it back 
on, whenever she crosses the threshold into her study, and she's the
type to just do it and not question why (because it works).

So, in my experience, all the Android phones in the house have no
problem switching to the wired access point of the same SSID as
the main router, and all the iPads do have a problem.

Easily enough solved; but I didn't want to bring it up as that 
complicates things (people always think that my particular set of
iPads are faulty but they themselves haven't tested the things like
I have and like I know you have as you've tested this stuff in 
detail as I have seen your web pages with the graphs).

So, in summary, I kept that detail out because I was trying to 
simplify things.

I keep making that typing mistake (dyslexia creeping in).
Sorry.

I have it set up *exactly* as you suggested, with channel 1 and channel
6 and the WISP radio on channel 11 (where you can see bounceback here):
