Hi, I'm planning a Wireless Network deployment in a small town, using
several AP as repeaters (I am using Cisco 350 with omni antennas).
I know that the overall bandwidth will be limited because of the use
of repeaters ("throughput is cut in half for each repeater added to
the chain", Cisco says). However, I don't know exactly how this will
work (how much bandwidth will be lost) with a hierarchical structure
such as the following:
BR (root)-------- AP 1 (repeater)----- Client1
|
------- AP2 (repeater)----- AP3 (repeater)-----Client2
|
-----------------AP4 (repeater)-----Client3
All the units will be working on the same frequency. AP2 will be
child of BR (root) and parent of AP3 and AP4, and so on.
So my question is: will the bandwidth be divided by 4 (2 repeaters in
each chain) or by 16 (4 repeaters on the network tree)? Has anybody
here tried or studied this configuration (or similar one) and know
the behavior of the system?
Thank you.
