An 'extender' operates as a wireless repeater, doesn't it? I'm not sure you could operate it on a different channel. I also wouldn't be surprised if it was a source of some of your problems, as you'll get only half the potential wireless bandwidth for devices connecting to it (because the repeater has to both receive and then repeat each signal wirelessly), plus all of its traffic will have to travel through the main wireless access point. It's just giving you a better wireless signal at the other end of the house, but at the expense of bandwidth. If I'm right about that, then you'd be much better off running ethernet to a second wireless access point, on a different channel from the first one and with the same SSID, as Gary suggests. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86757 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
