wireless APs that connect to eachother

[Amafsha1]

Hello,

Is their a feature that APs use that can connect off each other before talking to the WLCs?  Let's say I don't have cabling infrastructure for 2 APs, just only 1.  Can I use the 2nd AP to ride off the 1st AP(that is plugged into the switch) and both talk to the WLC.  So the 2nd AP doesn't have a  cable, but has to use wireless to speak to the 1st AP, then in turn to the WLC. Is there such a feature?  Whether for Cisco and/or Meraki?

Thank you

Hi

 You just reinvented something called Mesh network lol. 

 Take a look on the link below:

Thank you, I can't open the link, it gives me 404.  Does Meraki wireless APs support such feature?

Yes it does:

Awesome thanks

Not a problem. Probably is due some geographical  domain issue.

 Fire up google or any web search and look for Cisco Mesh network and Meraki mesh network.

 Enjoy.
