I'm trying to get a wireless signal from one end of a hallway to the other wirelessly. The goal is to get DSL from access point 1 at the begining of the hallway to WAP 2 (100 feet down the hallway) and then to WAP 3 (another 100 feet down the hallway from WAP 2). I'm using Linksys WAP11's. I've tried the new repeater mode, it doesn't work. I've tried point to multipoint bridging, doesn't work. The only way that I can get the DSL to at least WAP 2 is to put a bridge at WAP 1 and WAP 2, but then I can't obtain a dynamic address from my router before WAP 1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Did you try setting 1 one of the AP's to client mode?


AP1------------AP2-----------------AP3------User1
.............Repeator mode.......Client mode

If I use AP1 as access point and AP2 as repeater and AP3 as AP Client, the client will not emit a signal to wireless users which I need it to do.

Setting AP3 to repeator mode doesn't work either?
