Hi All, Wondering if anyone out there has any insight into the following problem:
I have two Netgear WG602 Wireless Access Points which support something called WDS (Wireless Distribution System). One is connected to the LAN via ethernet and is setup as an Access Point (as per Netgear Technical Support, which oddly enough is a different setup from what the documentation says but that isn't the point) and one is setup as a wireless repeater. Now that all works fine, the problem is that I can not jump from one access point to another without first turning off airport (using a PowerBook with all the latest from Apple) and then turning it back on. In other words, when I walk out of range of one but still in range of the other the Airport card does not automatically switch access points. I am told that it is supposed to but it just doesn't. And yes, I have the same SSID on both, I have tried it on the same wireless channel and on different channels (again documentation vs technical support), upgraded firmware and all that. Essentially it is working but my mac doesn't like to switch access points. I am thinking that Airport is bound to an access point via it's MAC address and that is the problem but I am not really sure. Anyone know anything about this? Any software for OS X that allows control over which wireless network you are connected to?
