Multiple WNAP210
I am currently trying to Configure 3 WNAP210's as Wireless Repeaters, I have a 3 story townhouse and would like 1 AP on each floor for good coverage and I think repeater is the right way about it with...
I notice you say ...
AP1 - Hard Wired
AP2 - Hard Wired
AP3 - Hard Wired
You appear to have the access points hard wired back to the main router - is this correct? If it is, then you do not need to enable repeater mode.
Repeater mode is when you use the access point to "repeat" a wireless signal - in this mode it must first receive the signal via the wireless, and then retransmit it, again via the wireless.
Repeater mode, in my opinion, should only be used as a last resport, as the need to receive & retransmit causes a 50% drop in available bandwidth.
