[Wireless] Multiple APs and Channel

I have 3 WRT54G routers with Wi-Fi enabled in my house acting as wireless access points. All are connected back to my router by CAT5 cable. All of the access points have the same SID with no encryption. (I am very far from the street and my neighbors so encryption is not needed.)

My house is a bit too large for just one AP to cover with excellent signal strength. I want to be able to move about the house and ** as seamlessly as possible ** connect to the nearest AP.

Should the 3 access points be on the same channel or of different non-overlapping channels?

Using "N" technology for greater range is not in the cards as the laptops we have only have B & G capabilities and I don't want to upgrade yet.

If you have no other APs in the area set each on their own channel and only use 1, 6, and 11.

If there is another AP on say 6 which ever AP has the lowest signal (use "Site Survey" on the router) from that other AP put it on 6 and the other on 1 and 11.
