multiple waps...

[andrewjm]

If you have multiple waps, all with the same dhcp table, and gateways ip setup... you can walk around the house/building without noticing a disconnect when hopping on each one...

however, when i try to remotely connect to the settings webserver, how do i know which one i am connecting to?

seems weird... right now i have them set with different scid's to keep them separate, but now i can't roam between them without disconnecting

When you connect to the web server of the AP typically you use the IP address of the AP. So, that is the means you have of knowing what AP you are using. If it helps it is a good idea to label your equipment. If you think keeping track of 4 is tough, try taking care of 1200 APs.

I'm confused... when you have 1000 aps, are they all the same gateway ip? cause for a seemless exchange between them with a laptop, doesnt the dhcp server(if you use one) have to be the same, and the gateway ip the same?

cause if it isnt the same, it will try to talk to the other gateway ip, which would be across the house... then again, if they are all the same gateway ip, how do you remote in? unless you turn on remote administration i guess.. but i dont wanna do that
