I am planning to use 2 WAP11 boxes (linksys wireless access points) that have bridging capabilities, allowing it to bounce signals and act as a repeater. Has anyone tried this successfully and what were the limitations in terms of range?
There are 2 applications: 1) Internet, so even 11 MBPS speed will be fine. 2) Using an application such as Client-Server Tally. Clearly 11 MBPS can be the bottle neck here. But the g versions at 54 will have lesser range. Is that true?
3) Now as we move from Router-AP-Switch devices towards the Access Points with bridging capabilities, how is it going to compromise the security when not having a firewall in place as the wireless routers provided this?
4) Which of these setups are possible? Internet____WAP1--->WAP2_____Router----->USB-Adapter____PC. ____ denotes wired link. ---- denotes wireless. Router in question is entry level netgear or linksys without bridging.
5) Has anyone tried signal boosters and how good are they? While the signal booster costs a LOT (if available) it saves the hassles of WAP1-Wap2-Router setup or even WAP1-WAP2-USB Adapter.
6) Can anyone point to a good signal booster that will go over 2 concrete walls and total distance 50 feet and work with netgear/linksys entry level router+Access points? Costs?
Thanks!
