Re: repeater or 2nd AP The AP1 should be on channel 1,6 or 11. And the AP2 should be 1,6 or 11 but not the same as the AP2 (examples AP1=CH11, AP2=CH6. Don't depend on the APs built "use least congested channel" capabilitity it's almost always crap. Configure both APs to have the same SSID, but change it from the factory default SSID. That way you can set your clients wireless client to only connect there internal wireless network and not a neighboring office. You are correct in assuming there is no benefit to using repeater mode if you already have a wired connection for AP2. Depending on which client adapter you using you will get different roaming performance between the 2 APs. Sometimes mobile clients will probably get stuck on AP1 even when the signal is better from AP2. Some client adapters have hidden registry keys to make roaming work better. Some drivers are just broken.
