Wifi Roaming

I recently installed a wifi network using SMC Network's 2804WBR router. This was the setup:
(Internet) --- (Modem) --- (2804WBR Router) --- (2804WBR in Repeater Mode). This setup allowed the network to be extended further by using 2804WBR as a repeater at some distance from the router. However, the tech support person told me that I would need to have different SSIDs for the router and the repeater for the system to work. My question though was: is there some way to create a "roaming" network where the wireless user can be any place within the coverage area without having to deal with different SSIDs or settings? This way, all that person has to do is join the network once and roam freely within the coverage area.
