I'm not familiar with the WDS mode. How does it differ from just repeating a signal? Are two AP's both hardwired but interact seamlessly?
If I split the users between two AP's how far apart would I need to put the two antennas to avoid interference? Or will setting them at different channels be sufficient?
I think running a small router and connecting the two AP's to it and splitting our user load is a very workable solution as we can use our existing equipment with minimal extra purchases.
