SSID & Network keys - same or different?

Hi,
I've just purchased a couple of wireless powerline extenders model TL-WPA281. I've successfully set them up with a different SSID and network key from the router (and each other). On the ground floor (for example) the SSID is MarcLodgeGF and the 1st floor MarcLodgeFF etc. and depending on where I am in the house, I can choose the strongest signal.
My question is, if I were to call all SSIDs the same, with the same network key, would this work? I have a windows 7 laptop. The reason I am thinking of doing this is that I have a Sonos speaker system, that is linked to the router. If I am connected to the router SSID, everything works fine, but on the other two SSIDs, the speakers (understandably) cannot be seen.
Also, if the SSID is the same, will Windows automatically choose the strongest signal as I move about the house? (would be rather nice if it did! :) )
Grateful for any advice given.
Regards,
Marc Lodge
