223027 2004-03-17 01:53:00 Hey,

Just wondering if anyone has set up a wireless network with more than one access point(AP)??

I am going to be doing a setup where there will probably be 3 APs hosting about a dozen laptops/PC's.

I assume you need to set up some sort of bridging between the APs??

What sort of distance should you be able to get between them??

Once set up, should you just be able to walk around the building with a laptop and it will automatically connect to the AP with the strongest signal??

No bridging should be needed?
The APs will act like hubs on the network, each AP will be connected to the downstream main hub.

Using Belkin AP's and network cards.

I did have to set up each AP to use wireless bridge mode and then had to put in the MAC address of the other AP into each one.
