Hi,

Dose someone knows if I can increase bandwidth with two AP? (From 54mb >> 108mb)

also,what is the best way to do it?

Thanks,

Dror

From the perspective of getting 2X bandwidth from one client: NO ... can't do it.

From the perspective of having more bandwidth, so you can support more clients, then Yes ...

By putting several APs in one area, each on a different channel (1,6,and 11 are recommended) and setting the clients to use specific channels, you can double or triple your client count for a given area.

Good Luck

It's not something I've ever tried, but it's conceivable that if you set up two pairs of wireless bridges, and fed them with a router (at each end), that the router(s) would load-share the parallel links.

The issues with this is *how* the router decides the path: simple round-robin / alternating ~probably~ will work OK .... but Ideally you'd want a system that sends the traffic down the least-loaded link ... more of a loadbalance than a load share.

If the traffic is a good statistical mix of packet sizes, then straight-up load-sharing would probably do the trick ...

How many hosts at the end-point, and what is the nature of the application from the perspective of amount of traffic, sensitivity to latency, packet sizes, etc (i.e., VoIP uses small packets ~ 200 bytes, database-style apps tend to use large packets ~1500 bytes).

Let use know and we can take the next leap.
