It will have to be wired. Here are some directions.
Broadband modem --> WAN port of MN-500 or MN-700 #1
MN-500 or MN-700 #1 LAN port #2 --> WAN port of MN-500 or MN-700 #2
MN-500 or MN-700 #1 LAN port #3 --> WAN port of MN-500 or MN-700 #3 (if
available)
Make sure all MN-500s are running the latest firmware 1.11.017
Make sure all MN-700s are running the latest firmware 2.00.08.0333
Now lets look at the setup of each MN-500 or MN-700:
MN-500 or MN-700 #1
router mode
LAN IP address at default of 192.168.2.1
some SSID
some WEP key
channel 6
MN-500 or MN-700 #2
bridge mode
LAN IP address at 192.168.2.42, outside of default DHCP range
same SSID
same WEP key
channel 1
MN-500 or MN-700 #3 (if available)
bridge mode
LAN IP address at 192.168.2.43, outside of default DHCP range
same SSID
same WEP key
channel 11
If you keep the SSID and WEP key the same for all base stations, people
will be able to move between offices and get a connection.
You need to select non-overlapping channels for the base stations to
prevent interference.
Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the three non-overlapping channels.
There are more combinations if you only need two channels.
