HostAPD to HostAPD link

Postby seza » Sat Dec 08, 2012 8:25 pm

Hi guys,

I am trying to extend my wireless network by setting up two RASPI's running Archlinux as follow

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Internet <--wire--> ADSL WIFI Rtr <--wire--> HostAPD <--W/less--> HostAPD <--W/less--> Clients')

I prefer not to implement WDS
Normally on consumer grade routers I could use one as a Repeater Bridge but on RASPI with Arch I am not sure how to achieve that?

thanks
seza
