Anything more than that and a series of 'N' units probably won't even realize 'G' speeds, no matter how optimal your broadcast conditions. (Describing my home network perfectly.) But it's a lousy solution if you're planning on putting a switch in every room of your house so that you can plug in wired network devices. It's a great solution to avoid drilling holes or otherwise running cable between two concentrations of network equipment.

You are also correct about bridging degrading a great deal if you make multiple hops. These are products designed for cruise ships, hotels and such and usually beyond the scope of a home installation. If we need a repeater in one of our client sites, we immediately look at commercial grade units costing $200 or more. Perhaps someone else can shed some light and recommend something. By now, I would think (hope?) that someone has filled this void and made an inexpensive quality product. Some of them work well, some of them don't, and you can frequently have two samples of the exact same product that behave very differently. I've had hit and miss success with consumer grade repeaters. I've never had a moment's trouble out of any pair of those I've ever put into service, and the ones in my house get used nightly. That's a decent, no-name, inexpensive bridge. For example, I have in my house and have installed many Airlink 101 AP671W units. It's far easier, however, to find an inexpensive bridge that works well than it is to find a good repeater. I've seen good and bad bridges, as well as good and bad repeaters. However, stability will ultimately come down to the quality of the units you purchase. It's far more secure, and more stable in general, since neither of the devices has to broadcast to or listen for other wireless clients. I'd strongly recommend bridging if you can make it work for you. If either or both of the devices is capable of providing service to wireless clients, then you have a repeated signal between two access points. If the wireless signal is exclusive to those two devices (meaning they are set via IP address to communicate with each other only) then you have a bridge. which would require a repeater.īasically the difference is whether or not the wireless signal is available to other devices outside of the two 'switches' in your diagram. But in your description, your LAN consists of both wireless and wired devices. I'm thinking of buying TP-Link's range of N-routers to do the job ( if it's possible to work as described).Īnyone have experience with wifi setup or this particular set-up who can help me out?Īctually, your diagram depicts a bridge. Tech sites mention that WDS (bridging?) halves the speed with every 'hop'. So am I actually bridging or repeating a signal here?

So switch2 is the actual access point (the one that the devices connect to) whereas switch1 only 'relays' the connection. That is, modem connencted to wifi-device, which communicates with another wifi-device that has wired (pc, NAS) and wireless (laptop, smartphone) clients (basically a LAN). Now I've read stuff about WDS, bridging and repeating and this seems like a solution for my desired situation. So I ended up using a long utp cable and no wi-fi. My modem is in the meter closet/cupboard and using a wireless 'g' switch my connection only reached 10% of its speed.

I want to upgrade my wifi but I want to be sure of certain things before investing.
