Hi there.

I already have one of these connected to my switch to provide my house with wireless capabilities.

However, it's location is such that it is in one corner of the house, and subsequently the opposite corner of the house has poor reception generally speaking. Unfortunately, this is where the wireless would be most convenient to use.

By reading the information regarding that access point, am I correct in assuming that I can add another to my house, make sure it's on the same channel, and then plug it in anywhere in my house to increase reception to the more distant areas, without it needing to be connected to any other equipment?

Many thanks.

James

That would be a repeater. I don't Linksys makes them. Have you looked into getting an antenna ?

Thanks guys. I just checked out the User Guide and the WAP 11 is capable of repeating. Thanks for that.
