Thread: WAP11 bridge or access poinmt mode? Help!

Jaybo - 28/7/07 at 20:26

OK, I currently have an outbuilding where I can see my WISP antenna. I currently have 2 WAP11's in bridge mode shooting the signal to my home about 400' away. It works pretty well and other than the occasional reset both ends it is trouble free.

I am adding another house to the mix, that is on the opposite side of the outbuilding. I got a great deal on 3 new WAP11 2.8's (or 2.6?) Anyway I was going to replace my current WAP11's and add the other house to the network.

My question is do I set up the WAP11 in access point mode for all 3 of them? Bridge mode in the outbuilding where the 'net comes in? or bridge mode for all of them?

I have searched all over and can't find an answer to this question, Anyone here able to give me some help on this?

If memory serves, - 2 modes available in bridge - point to point and point to multipoint. Try the latter.
Have another look on the web Jay, the now ageing wap11 has more post than probably any other wireless device.
I baught a few cheap 2.6 units for my community wisp - then found they would'nt always conect to non-Linksys AP's. As you've found they wern't that reliable either requiring fairly frequent power cycling.
