Hi

Level 3 only allows to create ptp links, so you can’t repeat wireless signal, describe scenario for more clarity

I’m afraid you will have to get another 411 with level 4 for more info check here http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/All_about_licenses#Change_license_Level

If it will only be 2 aps, you can go for wds, just remember that the wds links will half your link speed, as a tip for more info on that check wiki

in can buy the level 4 just would loose the level 3 license right?
Also for not be half speed how can i setup to repeat with full speed?

thanks

I have just pointed the wds behavior cause it should be mentioned depending on your circumstances and what are you offering to the customers/users and what your bb speed is it may be irrelevant cause the links will deliver enough speed for your needs

there are few ways of doing it

  • creating a back bone with dual radio card solution possibly even 5ghz, depending what kind of bandwidth you need
  • connecting a bridge to your firs ip and setting an ap feed from the bridge (that would be the cheapest option i would think)

hope it helps, regards
