Hello guys,
i have a question.
I have created a bridge on the 2.4 GHz network between the ap802 (with station-role root to accept only bridge connection ) and on the air1142 on the 2.4 GHz (with station-role non-root wireless client with two ssids in order to allow bridge and client connections).
The ap 802 have enabled also the the 5 GHz for the clients.
Ap 1142 has no ethernet connection.
All this stuff above is working fine.
Here comes the questions:
1) can be wise to enable on the air 1142 5 GHz for the client?
2) If it is wise to do, does the 5 GHz on air 1142 can accept client connection and forward the connection of the 5 GHz clients on the bridge running on 2.5 GHz ? (role station-role root ap-only?)
3) Having two 5 GHz network tha are relatively close (installation is inside the house) with same SSID how will work the roaming for 5 GHz client beteen the two access point?
Sorri if i bother but cannot find the answers on-line.
Thank you

Thank you guys,
i am doing some tests to understande the signal strenght and if the two 5 GHz antennas are stoleing the signal each other.

Hello Scott,
just to be sure to have understood correctly, English is not my mother tongue.
I have to set the two access point on the same channel and then tune the signal in order that they overlap a bit; is this correct?
Thank You.

After some tests i decided fot this setup
ap802:
2,4 GHz root wirelss bridge (no client)
5 GHz ssid "A" for client
ap1142:
2,4 GHz non root brigde with wirelss client (ssid "B" for 2,4 client)
5 GHz tuned off
The ssid that i used are different, and i placed the devices for best network cover.

Yes, sure! But i see on the root station issue having on the 5Ghz both the brigde and the wirelss client. (sometimes client were lossing connection) So i prefer to have the bridge only on the 2,4 GHz and client on the 5GHz. (this on the ap802)
Since the ap1142 normally have to serve only one 2,4GHz only client, i have tryed to have both the non root brigde with wireless client on 2,4 GHz and till now (two week of testing) it seem to be good. I also used two different ssid for 5 and 2,4 GHz client.
Thank you for your suggestions
