Hi!
I’m very new in mikrotik setup but I’ve bought 3 new cap2n so I could extend my home network. Here is the situation:
On second floor of my house I have a Cisco router (from ISP) but the wifi signal only reaches to the first floor. I wish to somehow “bridge”
Cisco → cAP1 (2nd floor)
cAP1 → cAP2 (1st floor)
cAP2 → cAP3 (ground floor)
so I could have wifi signal in the whole house.
What is the easiest way to do this?
Thank you in advance!
Nikola
Use powerline adaptors?
If you want to bridge cAP1 to the Cisco, the Cisco will need to support WDS. Generally speaking, WDS throughput halves per-hop [if you’re using single-radio devices] so by the time you’ve done three hops, performance is going to suck. And that’s without considering that, with single-radio devices, everything is going to be on the same channel!
Thanks for your reply.
I’ve tried with powerline adapters but I can get the connection between ground and first floor, and nothing more. I have no idea how to get to all floors…
