Seeni, My head-end aPPo has 26 direct clients, two of which are repeaters. The repeaters consist of an aPindoor receiving from the head-end--back to back with an aPPo (retransmitting on different channel and SSID). One of the repeaters has 24 clients and the other has 3 clients.
That is a total of 53 clients all feeding through my head-end aPPo. I have a T-1 wide open to all clients, and all clients do feel 1.5 Meg up and back (most of the time). With that said, are you saying that I have reached the maximum capacity of my head-end aPPo??? Please be straight up here. I don't really care about the "max 128", I want to know exactly when will my performance be affected on the aPPo??? Also...you say below that the throughput is effectively cut in half with the repeaters. This is only true if you use 1 radio in repeater mode. Sorry if this is already stated elsewhere in the message.

If you have only 2 MB bandwidth and then you want to add 3 more repeaters means the effective throughput will cut in half once for each hop away from the parent Access Point.
