Yes, you want to use different channels. Also, you need to have good spacing between the radios, because even on different channels, closely located radios will interfere. We found that putting one in 2.4 ghz band and one in 5 ghz band worked without resorting to directional antennas or the like. > In MPP where there are multiple mesh interfaces, AP interface and/or Ethernet > interface, how does this "MBSS sharing" work? > a. add both mesh interface in 802.1d bridge, or > b. add either interface in bridge, or > c. sharing can't be used You should be able to add either interface in the bridge. -- Bob Copeland %% www.bobcopeland.com _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.open80211s.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel
