NS2 as a repeater

[robertoveras_Dominicano]

Hello
I have two NS2... one is working as AP-Brige with firmware XS2.ar2316.v3.3.1.4227.090128.1828 both. What can I do to configure the second one as a repeater of the first one?

Thanks.

AP-WDS on both radios.

Hi WHT

Need they to be on the same channel?

Thanks

[WHT]

Yup...same channel, same bandwidth.

From the AirOs manual http://wiki.ubnt.com/wiki/index.php/AirOS:Auto option should be enabled in order to establish WDS connection between Access Points if WDS Peers are not specified (applicable for AP WDS mode only). If Auto option is enabled AirOS powered Access Point will choose WDS Peers according to the SSID setting.

Note: Access Point operating in WDS mode and all the WDS Peers must operate on the same frequency channel and use the same channel spectrum width.

SSID: Service Set Identifier used to identify your 802.11 wireless LAN should be specified while operating in Access Point mode. All the client devices within range will receive broadcast messages from the access point advertising this SSID. ESSID: – specify the ESSID of the Access Point which the the AirOS should associate to while operating in Station or Station WDS mode. There can be several Access Points with the same ESSID. If the ESSID is set to "Any" the station will connect to any available AP.

Did not work.
The difference bettwen the main AP+WDS and the second one is that main AP+WDS is using IP:192.168.1.20 with a 15dbi external Onni and the other AP+WDS has the IP:192.168.1.21 with vertical antenna defined. That's only the differences between them.

Please advise.

Did you peer the remote radio with the first radio's MAC addy?

[robertoveras_Dominicano]

Yes, I did it.
I checked "auto" and add the MAC on the two AP+WDS equipments. I mean... on the main AP+WDS I put the MAC of the second one, and on the second AP+WDS I put the MAC of the main.

I fixed the issue. It was that the "Enable Client Isolation" field was checked on the NS2 repeater. I unchecked that field and I could get wireless connection.

Thank you WHT for your help in this matter.

Regards.
