Change the first DWL-900AP+ from AP mode to Bridge Mode *OR* change the end point from bridge mode to client mode. In bridge mode, you can bridge 31 devices per radio. In AP mode, you're limited to one per client mode radio. 2. Make sure that the MAC addresses for the other end of bridge are the MAC address of the next hop, and not the endpoint. In effect, you have two bridges connected to each other. 3. All the Dlink radios to find their own speed. They will start at 22Mbits/sec and drop as required by interference, S/N ratio, collisions, and delays. 4. Repeater mode sucks. Your thruput will be half what could be achieved with a direct shot because the repeater has to store and forward each packet. -- # Jeff Liebermann Liebermann Design 150 Felker St #D Santa Cruz CA 95060 # 831.336.2558 voice 831.421.6491 digital_pager AE6KS # [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.LearnByDestroying.com -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
