Regards wifi on a different SSID, I have actually found that to be a bit of a problem although the 200M distance would make it less so. I used to have the AP on my shed broadcasting as an AP on a different channel and SSID as well as being a bridge to the house, but even on lower power my phone would usually pick it up first as I drove into the garage (The shed AP has a directional antenna) and would stay connected to it even inside the house. Phone performance was really poor as it was on the end of a low speed, two way, long distance link.
In the house I got the irrits with wifi performance ages ago and installed a trio of Ubiquiti access points, with an Intel NUC that is acting as a Minecraft server for my son and as an IP PBX for our intercom system now also hosting the Ubiquiti management suite, when I get the fibre link in and running I plan to get another Ubiquiti AP for the shed and join it to the network in the house. With the software running on the NUC it gives seamless handoff between APs. So when you walk from one end of the house to the other the software monitors your signal strength and when you have better coverage from a different AP, changes you to it. That way once I have an AP in the shed I can set it up on the same SSID and it should just work, seamlessly roaming even out into the shed!
