If not using roaming under WDS or repeater/expander you can use AP with same SSID and configure roaming aggressiveness to medium/high

You also have to verify that the security settings are exactly the same on all of the access points, and that each access point is using a different channel. using a repeater if i understand correctly will not help either (and i get worse throughput) any idea ? _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
