Wirelss Reapter support booadcast

Hi,

I'm looking for a AP which can attached to existing LAN, and a repeater (or extender or bridge?) to connect to AP at about 50 meter distance.

AP and repeater can directly facing each other, but has 2 wood door in between.

 

There is a server connect existing network, and 2 laptop need to connect repeater, and it require server laptop using same subnet,and able to send broadcast message to each other. (so it should not involve NAT and Rounting),

 

Did not find any topic relate to broadcast, so please advice which device i should buy.

Thanks

    Yes, IP broadcasts will traverse across separate SSIDs that are in the same IP subnet.

    Hi Nhann,

     

    Thanks for you reply.

    I have go through the document for the the extenders, but there is not technical specfication related to broadcast.

    And unfortunately same electrical circuit is not an option.

     

    To be more specific, If i buy 2

    AC1200-WiFi Range Extender Model: EX6150

    Use 1 as AP and another one as an extender, connected them use wireless, and config different SSID for them

    Question: is PCs connect to different SSID able to transfer broadcast message?
