Call me and we can talk about this. I'm pacific time. 509.988.0260 Having said that. What's your budget? Don't use WDS. Radios do NOT like being repeaters. They want to come in wireless out via wire or vice versa. If you need to move further down the road, use two radios for it. You can

I wouldn't necessarily say that a layer 2 mesh is more difficult to troubleshoot than a layer 3 mesh with tunnels on top to achieve layer 2 functionality is... :) L2 mesh networks can be quite scalable, especially when separating end user traffic by performing l3 routing over the l2 mesh or by usi

I can't think of a reason why anyone would deploy a layer 2 mesh with an Ethernet based medium (which wifi inherently is). Conventional wisdom in large scale sp architecture is to do anything of any size or complexity in layer 3. Layer 2 is really bad at scalability and really hard to tro

Yes a layer 2 mesh is protocol dependent, so you're stuck to IP traffic only. Also, when using a layer 3 mesh, roaming and convergence time can also increase (slowing things down) as when things move around, extra things have to happen... layer 3 stuff... OLSR tables updated, IPs updated, ARP entr
