I have three access points connected to our firewall/router (using a
hub). Currently, each one has a unique SSID and is using a different channel (2, 6 and 11). These are spread around the office building. Would it be better to use the same SSID on all three APs; and/or would it be better to put all of them on the same channel? The wireless network is separated from our internal network; one must use VPN to get onto our internal network when using a wireless connection. If there is already help/advice available on this topic, a reference to that information would be enough help. I've searched for about 15 minutes and haven't found what I'm looking for. Dan DanL |

give them all the same SSID and the sane WPA2/WPA passphrase. use
channels 1-6-11 and you should be able to roam throughout the building. On Wed, 31 Oct 2007 21:44:54 -0000, DanL <> wrote: >I have three access points connected to our firewall/router (using a >hub).
