WN3000RP and RF Channel setup.
Our work just installed 3 of these to extend the existing wireless infrastructure. After they were completed, I fired up vistumbler, and found that all of the AP's are on the same channel, channel 1. ...
To the original poster - the critical piece of information that prevents your question from being answered is the configuration in which the equipment is being used - repeater or access point - and that is determined by how it connects to the main network - repeaters connect to the main network wirelessly, and MUST use the same channel, access points are wired to the main network and may be configured for different channels.
If configured as an access point I would suggest overlapping areas of coverage and different channels.
If I'm correct the WN3000RP does not allow use as an access point, so the IT person would be correct.
By the way - assign different channels does not allow the client "to differentiate which AP to connect to" - it simply reduces interference.
To japex - your question is sufficiently different that you'd be better off starting your own thread - you have some sort of a mis configuration - the WN3000RP does work with Netgear routers.
