Do not bother with bridging or repeating.&nbsp; It will be easier and perform better.&nbsp; Be sure to do a survey for coverage: AP placement, channelization, power, etc.</P><P>Bridging is for connecting seperate wired networks together via wireless connection.</P><P>Repeater mode is for extending a wireless signal; especially in areas where there is no ethernet connectivity available.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 08 Sep 2011 12:59:36 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/planning-wireless-network/m-p/1746185#M84645 ericgarnel 2011-09-08T12:59:36Z
