“Does this use the same SSID (wifi network name) or does this create a new SSID (different than your home wifi name)? I read somewhere that some wifi extenders create a new SSID.”

It creates a new SSID with the suffix "EXT" for extension. It is dual band so actually creates two new SSIDs - one for 2.5G and one for 5G.

Sorry it's a home computer so I hard wired it into the router, but I believe it's off the same home wifi. Hope this helps.
