Setting mulitple linked access points as one wireless network

[jonsey22]

Hello,

Was just wondering if anyone knew if/how it is possible to have a wireless network set up with mutliple access points but only showing up as one wireless network from any PC that wishes to connect to them? Does it require a specific type/model access point, if so can anyone recommend any?

Cheers for any help

Yea, you just have 1 access point as the manager (this guy is connected to a switch) and have many more access points as you want to cover your building, put them in repeater mode. This should let your users roam freely & transparently around your building.

Try going with 802.11g.

Have a look here for some AP

It's fairly good, have one at home. It supports what you need to do. I suggest buying the same brand and model if the other one will just be a repeater.

BTW, this is the tips and tricks section. You're better off asking questions on the parent section.
