If I still want to "repeat" or extend the original WiFi network, can I rename the newly created AP wireless nextwork as the original WiFi name? I don't want to 2 separate networks by the same name and ideally don't want a WiFi conflict.

@CobaltMars

Yes. You can still create the same wireless name and password on the AP.

To avoid wireless signal interference, you can manually choose different channels on the host router and the AP. To understand how to choose an optimal channel, please check this thread:
