configuring Senao Long-range Bridge and SMC repeaters

Bridges are required on each end. Multipoint bridging is a option for most AP/bridges.

Can you tell me on a satellite service do you use a phone or cell tower for uplink?

Thanks for the help so far, guys!

Basically I have a hughesnet satellite as internet service, so I don't use a phone at all. I have a satellite modem connected to a linksys router. The router uplinks to a Senao nl-2611cb3 bridge/accesspoint. I'm told the Saneo bridge doesn't support WDS.

I"ve had the Saneo set up as an accesspoint, and then laptops (if they are within range) as well as computers connected with an external antenna through SMC clients can connect to this. It has worked, but now I"m trying to set up one of the SMC as a repeater to retransmit the signal. That's where I"m running into a brick wall. Although the SMC works well as a ethernet client (connecting a high-gain antenna to it, and then a computer). It does not allow me to repeat the signal.

According to the manual, the SMCWEBT-G can function as a repeater. Is it possible to repeat the signal coming from a Saneo accesspoint/bridge that does not support WDS?

But you cannot use it to bridge network segments. You will need WDS for that option.

Bridge mode ties 2 networks together, requies 1 one each end.

Client mode make the unit works like a wireless pc, can also be used for game stations.
