I've tried searching this group and google before posting my question
here. If this question has already been answered, my apologies and
please direct me to the source. Thx.
I had to give up on my 11g wireless network with too much competition
for available frequencies from neighbouring WLANs and telephones.
Yesterday I counted 10 different signals on my site survey and that
was only downstairs; upstairs I pick up 3 more.
I broke down and bought 11a gear from D-Link and thus far, all is okay
with no competition. However, I could only find the DI-784 11a/g
router and DWL-AG132 USB adapters locally. I need to order an 11a
bridge to connect my network upstairs with my network downstairs.
There are multiple bridges for 11b/g but for 11a the selection is
quite sparse. As for D-Link I was looking at the DGL-3420, which they
term as a gaming adapter. Is this device a fully functional bridge or
will it only accomodate a single end device? Anybody know how it will
handle multiple MAC addresses?
What options do I have? There is also the D-Link DWL-7100AP but my
experience these kinds of devices is that they will only bridge with
each other and not with a router like a DI-784 say. I tried to find
this out from the D-Link web page and docs but it does not
specifically say one way or the other.
TIA.
