I haven't done a detailed study of this, but when setting up my own 2nd wifi access point in my house (actually in two different houses), the instruction I read always said clearly to put the 2nd WIFI AP on a different channel, but to use same SSID and pw, so my devices could move seamlessly between the APs. I've had it setup this way for several years with no issues whatsoever. If the devices are far enough apart, perhaps same channel is not a problem. Any potential problem would be from channel/frequency interference. Whether same channel or different channels, all these things are on the *same* network that allows wired, wireless, etc. devices to all talk to each other. The channel doesn't define the "network". *Location 1:* VortexBox 4TB (2.2) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VBA 3TB (2.2) > LMS 7.7.2 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.8 > SqueezePlay *Spares:* VBA 4TB, SB3, Touch (3), Radio (3), CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone4S (iPeng), iPad2 (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Tagging - mp3tag, Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100930 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
