Title: 3x WRouters (2x AP's) + 3 Switches = 1 network - Possible?
Post by: savvy on February 04, 2011, 02:26:40 AM

Hi all,

Hope this is the right forum to be posting on - I need help with a home network please.

it's across 3 floors and the current setup is a single wireless router DIR655 (1st floor), but the wifi suffers greatly on the floor below/above.

I have sourced 3x Dlink switches and 2x more DIR655's and would like to have all machines/consoles/phones etc in the household on the same network.

Is it possible to keep one DIR655 as the main wireless connection and have the other as pure AP's aswell as keeping the same SSID?

I know a little about networking so please bear with me. :)

I believe these routers can only do routing functions and provide a stand alone AP. I would research some devices that can connect as APs and act as relays for WiFi.
