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.
