I've done extensive testing, WDS is just as reliable as wired,however at first we had issues with some AP that would not respond and needed to be rebooted. But if its possible to wire the AP< you should since WDS will eat alot of bandwidth and also decrease the range since most the AP will have to be within range of eachother, way more than overlapping coverage
<br><br>Alberto:<br><br>I would suggest you try to keep all the AP on the same channel. With that large of a space I wouldnt expect too much interferance from the outside.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/28/06,
