I have one repeater location using a Netgear off-the-shelf $30.00 switch, another using a Belkin off-the-shelf $30.00 switch, and yet another using a $10.00 Compaq switch.
aPPo(headend) <-> aP <-> switch (with client on site) <-> aPPo <-> more clients All of my repeaters are the same setup (with different brand switches). All are working great!

After reading the posts on the pros and cons of using a switch when connecting 2 radios together, would an alternative be to use a crossover cable and two male-male RJ45 connectors to join the two aPPO's directly? Is anyone using this at the moment? I'm going down to the site later this week to test it so will post my results back as and when.
