Wireless Rudundancy

Hey guys,

Quick question: In my home I have three access points (well, two wireless routers that are set as switches/access points and one true access point); a DLINK 802.11A/B/G, Linksys 802.11B/G, and Netgear 802.11B. They are all running unique SSID's and running 64 bit WEP.

My question: If there is a way I can set the same WEP key on all the routers, is there a way I can set each to have the same SSID so they will all work together or act as a fallback if I go out of range of one of the WAPs or one of them happens to go down?
Would the 802.11B (11mbps) access point cause any problems with this or would this not work at all with my equipment? Right now I have all the SSIDs set in order of preferred and the other access points act as a fall back to the one above it in the list.

Thanks guys
 
You can set the SSID to be the same.

Some 802.11g might lose Bandwidth in the presence of 802.11b the Linksys WRT54 should not. Do not know about the D-Link.

WEP should work too.

In any case, all of these concoctions are very easy to try, and they do not damage anything, so do not waste your time in ?philosophy? get to work.😉😀

If you want a countable measure of Bandwidth capacity this might help, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#transfer
