question on more than two access points

When trying to cover my home, I am considering using two Dlink 614+ access
points (I have an existing wired network, with a dhcp server).
Are there any pitfalls to be aware of, before I buy equipment?
Or is there other equipment that would be more suited to my situation?

Set the APs to different channels to channel 1, 6, or 11 only. These are
the only ones that do not overlap in spectrum. The only other pitfall is
roming. (if you have a mobile user on a laptop that moves from one AP to
the other) I don't know how the Dlink will handle this - but since your
running the same APs you might be ok.
