Hi I have upgraded my home wireless network. With the help of ebay i now have 2 more Intel PRO/Wireless 5000 access points which brings my total to 3, I needed them as i live in an old farmhouse and these access points dont have very good wall penatration.
Now that I have 3 Access Points - AP's ...
Is it possible for me to setup all three AP's so that they comunicate with each other and behave as if they where 1 AP, its mostly for internet sharing but also for the odd file transfer when i cant be bothered to carry My Maxtor from PC to PC.
Example: Lets say I have PC's A,B,C, and Access Points 1,2,3 and that AP 1, is plugged into the ADSL Router.
PC A is in range of AP 1 and so has a perfect internet connection, but is out of range with AP's 2 & 3 PC B is in range of AP 2 but not 1 or 3 PC C is in range of AP 3 but not 1 or 2
And Access Points 1,2 & 3 are all in range of each other.
So can i have a setup like this, or have i completley misunderstood the concept of wireless networking?
Any advice, suggestions or a full blown soloution would be appriciated. If you would like more detail on the hardware that i am using please ask.
