Hey,
I used to have 2 DAP-2553 that are configured WDS to AP. They load balance themselves great, no problem there.
When I try to put a third one in the picture, my entire network (wireless and wired) starts going slower, and slower. At one point, I need to turn off the 3rd AP.
The first one is configured to load balance with the 2nd one. I tried to have the 3rd one to load balance with either the 1st one, or second one, with no success.
What I am doing wrong? My experience is slowness in the network means I am looping those wireless APs, but can't figure out how...
Scenario 1
Firewall <-----> Switch <-----> AP 1 <-----> AP 2 = Fine.
Scenario 2
Firewall <-----> Switch <-----> AP 1 <-----> AP 2 <-----> AP 3 = Network Loops in slow motion
Scenario 3
Firewall <-----> Switch <-----> AP 1 <-----> AP 2
Firewall <-----> Switch <-----> AP 1 <-----> AP 3
= Network Loops in slow motion
Scenario 4
Firewall <-----> Switch <-----> AP 1 <-----> AP 2
Firewall <-----> Switch <-----> AP 1 <-----> AP 3
Firewall <-----> Switch <-----> AP 2 <-----> AP 3
= Network Loops in slow motion
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
