“In some rooms in my house the WiFi signal is VERY weak and in some cases its not available. If I use an extender, it creates another WiFi ID which is different from the main one assigned to the router. Does this device creates another WiFi ID?”

No. The system is supposed to switch you automatically between different wifi devices, but all of them will be under one ID. You will have one ID for your network, regardless of how many of these devices you have.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, this creates only one network. That's one advantage of mesh networks.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. If you choose this system you will position each unit progressively closer to the dead zones in your home. These units operate as a Mesh network meaning the units will link together creating a single WiFI network, which will give you a seamless connection throughout your home. I hope this was helpful.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No it does not create another wifi ID. I have three of the units in my home and I only have one WIFI ID and password.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, it is the same network. Your devices will automatically jump to the nearest wifi access point without you having to do anything. I had the same issue with weak spots in my house and the Google Wifi mesh network solved it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, the beauty of this is that it is a mesh that presents only one SSID.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you buy the 3 pack it should solve your problem, just download the Google WiFi app and place one of them in that area, another in the living room and connect one to your main router through the Ethernet port, the app will help you and you can when need it send more signal to that specific area that has the trouble, the app is really simple and explains the process with easy.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Actually, YES, you do create another different WiFi SSID from your MAIN router. However, you can name it the same as your router SSID, but doing so could cause issues with your device having to differentiate between the 2 networks since that's how it sees them. Even in the SSID/PW match, it will constantly be looking at the two and can actually cause your battery to die quicker. Having said that, if you use the Google WiFi device, it's better to name it something else (or name it what your main router is - but then rename your main router to something secondary - OR turn it off), and then you'll roam between devices like you would in a wireless LTE network. So the answer is technically YES and NO. The SSID "should" be something different from your main router though if you want better performance and less battery stress of your devices.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe this will solve your problem. I don't think this will need to create another wifi ID. These devices are build to work with each other.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This WiFi system has different channels for your system if thats what you mean, the main difference you will notice with this is coverage this is a mesh network meaning it chooses the fastest most reliable route and if one access point goes out it switches you over to the other one rather than one way in and one way out as you current router may have. This system will help out with the issues you are having.
