thrice_451 Unregistered guest | Is it difficult to set up two wireless access points to "repeat". Main building with 1*** ----> youth building with 2*** (I had a neat diagram but the spaces wouldn't work like I'd like them to) =) 1*** Wireless Access Point one, With network hardwired input. 2*** Wireless Access Point two, With network output. I basically want to take the connection in 'main building' and send it to 1***, which will send the information wireless across the parking lot, to 2***. Viola, network access in 'youth building'. 'Main Building' is the main church with internet access. 'Youth Building' is.. the youth building, which needs internet access, not to mention networking capabilities so we can stop burning cd's. I'm very computer literate, just lacking in some areas that I havn't read about yet(like wireless). Thanks very much for your time everyone. |
