Topic: Repeater

The content of this topic has been archived on 30 Jan 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

How can I set my AP to act as a repeater? All how-to:s and forum posts I can find only describe how to reflect one network with an alternative SSID. That I do not want to do. I want to set up a bunch of APs so that they bounce the traffic on to the one "master" that is not set as repeater and connected to the internet.

Perhaps there are better chooises than OpenWrt for this? I'll be running it on the "master" AP all the repeaters in the end make sure packages are received to, but that might not matter.

I'm a complete newbie. Please excuse any poor search skills or so. I didn't even receive my APs yet, but I'm really hyped to get working with it.
