Clients will talk to any WiFi access point with same ESSID+password+encryption
scheme. So yes same ESSID makes sense if the device permits it.
There is no access point authentication in current WiFi encryption schemes, so
anyone who knows your password can intercept and read all the traffic that isnât
encrypted at a higher level in the stack (e.g TLS).
