Config in repeater mode

[Richard-MARIE]

Hi,

For the establishment of a WiFi Hot Spot with 5 cisco 1242AG and 5 antenna AIR-ANT1728, I want to know what the config is the most suitable.

- One antenna in root mode and the other 4 in repeater mode

- Or 5 antennas in root mode

Between each terminal distance is about 100 meters outside?

Thanks a lot

That depends.  Will each AP have access to the LAN?  If so, then I would keep everything in 'root' mode.

If not, then I would use the 5GHz radio with a high gain antenna to do root/non-root and offer services on the 2.4GHz

Thanks for reply.

In my case, The 5 AP are connect to the LAN.

I do not understand what you said with 5Ghz on the second part of response

Thanks

That was just one way to connect back to the root AP.

Basically, I would use the 5GHz as the 'bridge' between the root/non-root.
