Hello Everyone,
I would like some feedback on an idea I am working with. So far a few
people have told me this is not possible, I am seeking a
'second-opinion'.
I need to know if it's possible to biuld a mesh netowrk using
off-the-shelf bridges/repeaters/access points. I tried setting up an
ad hoc network using bridges, but that did not work. Bridges don't
work as repeaters.
here is a visual.
[ 1 ] ------wifi-------- [ 2 ] --------wifi--------- [ 3 ]
The simple example. Each number is a wifi bridge/repeater/access
point. I have already done this experiement with the dlimnk dwl-810
and it did not work.
in the example, unit 1 is within range of unit 2, unit 1 is not within
range of unit 3. can unit 1 send packets to unit 2 and have unit 2
relay them to unit 3?
Does anyone know of such a device?
Thank you all, your advice is appreciated.
