I have 2 linksys WAP11's that I am trying to get to communicate and can't seem to get them to work together. The first is a version 2.2 WAP11 and the second a brand new version 2.8 WAP11 that will repeat (supposedly). Here's what I have done and am trying to do. In the past, I had a WAP11 sitting on a windowsill beaming across about 100ft to a highgain wireless antenna on a rooftop next door. This antenna is connected to a 25 ft low loss antenna cable that ran down the wall to a PCI card in a desktop machine. I had an average signal strength of around 80% and it has worked great for me for over a year. Now I am trying to hook up my new access point as a repeater to this same rooftop antenna so I can have wireless access in the second building for more than just the one machine. I have tried everything I can think of to make this work including 2 calls to linksys tech support that were of no use to me. Here are my settings on both access points....
1st access point that has been working fine: (v2.2)
IP address: 192.168.0.251
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.0
SSID: linksys
Channel: 6
WEP Manadatory - set with password
AP Mode: Access Point
2nd access point (new version 2.8)
IP address: 192.168.0.249
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.0
SSID: linksys
Channel: 6
WEP Mandatory - same password as other access point
AP Mode: Repeater with MAC address of first access point.
Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone know if there is a problem with ver 2.2 access point working with the ver 2.8? I am at a loss. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have tried hooking the wireless PCI card back up to the antenna to make sure I have a signal and it works like a charm.
cause I want/need to know this too. I have to wireless access points one from linksys and the other from d-link. the d-link one is also a repeater. Right now I have it set as another access point and am wondering if this would work as well as repeater mode?
