in my 3-floor house i have one main router, and 2 other routers that i changed them to AP's.
there are all in the same network. connected via lan together and Broadcasting the same SSID.
it's working great i have wifi coverage all over the house while my iphone/computer are connected to the same wifi network and there is no need to change the network from my side.
when i am on the 1st floor, (that is where the main router is located) i want be able to connect to him. he offers the AC draft 802.11 network (in 5 ghz)
the other access point offer draft N.
is there a way to tell a win 10 computer that it's higher priority to connect to the ac (5 ghz) network then the 2.4 ghz network ?

There is a way, but it only works for differing SSIDs. I don't see the advantage in having the same SSID.

Yes, but it will pick up the stronger source, and 2.4 ghz passes walls much better. The advantage with different SSID is that Windows will remember the last-connected, so if the last was the 5 ghz then it will be preferred, and it will only connect to the 2.4 ghz if the 5 ghz was too weak.
