I'm in the midst of renovating a new house and in my quest for keeping the tech at a high WAF, I bought 3 Engenius EAP9550 APs (smoke detector looking access point/repeater/WDS).
I can get power and a LAN cable to each Unit. Ideally I'd like to set them up with the same SSID / Security which would allow a wireless client to wander around the house and automagically collect to the best AP without any disconnect or handshaking.
Is this possible or have I fooled myself into thinking life can be that easy ?
Also, while I am at it, does anyone know how to configure a DIR-655 so it acts purely as a switch and AP ? I got the switch part working (don't use the WAN port, just one of the 4 LAN ports of the cable in) but the AP part didn't seem to send clients back to the main router/DHCP for an address.
