Hi John, The "repeater" setup is very popular in many WISP networks and so has become a proven method of expanding the reach. The RJ45 coupler is sufficient to connect the powerShots using straight cables which can be changed to cross-over simply by changing the PoE's straight-cross switch. The XO2 will be an ultimate choice for this kind of a deployment and will be released in the very near future.

McReynolds Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 10:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] Repeater question All, We are getting ready to expand our network with a "repeater" setup. We are planning on using 2 APPO's...one in client bridge mode (for the backhaul) and the other in AP mode (for the obvious reasons). Here are my questions: 1) Has anyone done this and with what kind of success? 2) Can we simply use an RJ45 coupler to connect the ethernet from each PowerShot together? Or would it be best to use a switch or router??? 3) If we can hook them together, would they need to be cross over cables or straight through? We were gonna wait for the X02s to come out, but time is of the essence...
