IN repeater mode, access point has the ability to
provide a wireless upstream link into the wired network rather than the normal
wired link. Additionally, the repeater access point is communicating with the
clients as well as the upstream access point over the wireless link. It is
also typical for the wired Ethernet port to be disabled while in repeater
mode. Hence you are not able to pass traffic in the repeater mode through the
Ethernet port. An aPPO in repeater mode can talk to another APPO in repeater
mode at the same times as ABO's. But the performance will not that great. Each
AP in repeater mode will reduce the effective throughput since it needs to get
the signal from the main AP and then repeat the signal to the wireless
client.
So if you want wired connectivity at the repeater
site, then you need to have another aPPO. So instead of one unit in repeater
mode, you have one unit in Client Bridge mode associating to
main AP and another in AP mode to serve wireless client. Eg.
Main aPPO(AP)--wireless---aPPO(CB)---wired--aPPO(AP)---wireless
clients

Wireless repeater mode
Why wont it pass traffic I was thinking of trying a
unit in repeater mode
with a 360* sector omni and then give that customer
free access. Your saying
that the LAN port will not pass traffic so I would
have to add another radio
to this clients house? If I wanted to do that then I
might as well use two
APPO's one for backhaul and one for AP. Is there a
reason not to let the LAN
get traffic from other access points instead of being
just for management?
This makes no sense help me see the Big picture
HEHE.
I was toying around with the idea of using this
repeater set up with a few
customers spread out in a MESH type setup? would this
work if not why? and
if so why and would there be any drawbacks?? I guess
what I am asking could
an APPO in wireless repeater mode talk to multiple
other AP or another APPO
in repeater mode at the same times as
ABO's???
Thanks

It is correct that aPPO in Repeater Mode, the Ethernet
will not pass
traffic, it is only meant for management
purpose.
Garry, please draw a simple diagram with IP address
and tell us which
device is pingable from PC to be
clear.

I think I once heard Smart Bridges say that you can't
connect to the
Ethernet port, except for management, when the unit is
being used in
Repeater mode. I may be wrong though so get a
second opinion.
