Default Re: Wireless AP Client configuration

First, thank you for your quick answer, I really appreciate it.
I'll try what you have told me (using a switch or hub in building B
connected to the 7100AP.

But I have one more interrogation: What LAN ip I have to put in the
7100AP ?? Static in the network of the Master AP? or with Dynamic IP ?

And the configuration that i wanted to do was to hide the PCs of
building B network from client of building A network. And I dont think
i will be able to do it with the setup you suggest to me.

Best Regards, Arthur
