[SOLVED] Repeater between Tenda o3 and W1500a

[chaiyut]

From the picture
Router:
IP xxx.xxx.1.1/24

AP1:
Tenda O3
IP xxx.xxx.2.1/24

AP2:
Tenda O3
IP xxx.xxx.2.2/24

AP3:
Tenda W1500a
IP xxx.xxx.2.3/24

I already have AP3 (Tenda W1500a) and I want to repeate/extend wifi signal to another house (same area). I try to find the same one (Tenda W1500a) but I cannot, then I buy 2 new Tenda O3.

I setup with Universal Repeater from AP1 to AP2 testing work fine.
Then try to setup with the same Universal Repeater from AP2 to AP3 testing not working, can't ping and can't access internet.

Is this configuration is wrong ? or I should use another way?


I use the same SSID for All AP
Do I need to change All AP IP to the same subnet of Router (xxx.xxx.1.0/24) ?

Does tenda say they can do that. Very technically no repeater should exist according to wifi standards. The manufactures have been using a hack to make it work. This method only works for a single repeater from the router to the first remote radio. There is no way to repeat it a second time.

Some companies have started some new repeater stuff they are calling "mesh". Again there is no standard and in this case all the manufactures are doing it different. Some have the ability to run multiple repeaters and others do not. You need to very closely read all the vendor data they do not all work the same.

In any case you will have fairly large performance issues even if you find a system that supports this. You have mulitple radio hops which can all cause delays and data loss. The lost data many times must be transmitted over all the radio hops so loss between the last 2 devices will affect devices on the first hops.

This poor performance is part of the reason you do not see the ability to do this on more products.

To go between houses you are going to be much better served with a outdoor bridge unit connected to your router.
