Hi, everybody!
I'm in need of some expert advice. I'm trying to setup wifi coverage at
a health club which has a dsl connection in one of the offices. the club
has three big rooms and a couple of offices - seems too big to be
covered with one AP. requirements:
-one ssid
-ability to walk around the club while maintaining a connection (ie
continuously downloading something).
Since there is only one wired connection, ie one wifi router connected
to dsl modem, other APs have to repeat the signal wirelessly. which is i
guess what WDS is for (i'm using buffalo wireless wbr-54 routers).
however, with such setup each ap seems to have to advertise a different
ssid. that means the user, when walking from one ap's coverage area to
another, has to terminate connection to ssid and connect to another. is
there any way to avoid that? essentially, from user (laptop, pda)
perspective, i would like to have one ssid accessible from anywhere in
the club.
thanks a lot
