this short article on how the different bridging modes work:
HI,
I want to become a home-made WISP, but im
confused about bridge and AP mode. i will have an adsl connection,a Linksys
Wap11, a router, a file server and my pc; and in the client side (other
building) there will be another Wap11, a Hub, and Cat5 for every PC, in my
side i want to have a file server so the clients could download
music,videos,etc. A nice guy from http://www.hartwellroad.net , did
something like that but he used AP Mode on his house and AP Client Mode on the
client side, i dont know if with this kind of connection the clients could
have access to my file server, what should i use to share them internet and a
file server in my network AP-AP Client Mode, or Bridge ?
Im not so sure about Bridge cause it just support
3 devices in bridge mode and i would have problem if other buildings want to
join the WISP, but im not so sure about AP and AP Client Mode would let my
clients to reach my File Server, please help me with this
here is an example of my future connection, any
correction is really welcome
