I'm setting up a 802.11 wireless network in my neighborhood of 16 houses so my neighbors can access my T1.
Right now I have a 15dBi gain omni attached to a linksys WAP11 on my house. The linksys is in access point mode and I can access it almost everywhere in the neighborhood. How ever there is a dead area which is because of a hill. The house on the hill is willing to "bridge" over so I can give people on the other side access as well. What would be the best way to do this? I was thinking of something like this but I'm not sure how well it would work: AP = Access Point More AC = Client Mode ~ = CAT5 wire -- = wireless ([T1][WAP11,AP])------([WAP11,AC]~~[WAP11,AP])------(4-5 houses [WAP11,AC]~~[PC]) The problem I would see here is that all traffic of the 4 houses will be forced through one WAP11. T1 is only 1.5mbit so is the 11mbits enough? Will DHCP go all the way to the houses? I know that you can use more than one comp when a linksys is in AC mode and your using a hub but I don't know if that works if your using another WAP11 instead of a hub. thanks -Stefan -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
