Repeater AP and international domains

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

I have previously had two Dick Smith XH8175 APs working in repeater
mode.

After a failure of one AP I obtained a replacement.
The repeater link will not operate.

The only difference I can see is on the opening config page of each
AP.

One has a domain of Europe and the other has a domain of USA.

There is no help in the manual and there appears to be no config
option for Domains.

Anyone know if diffenent domains could block a link and how I could
fix this?

Thanks

G

For international domains read Region Domains

International APs can be using frequencies not allocated in the US. Your new AP
may not be "seeing" the old one.
