I have three Linksys WAP54G access points, one on each floor of my house. I've set each of them up using the exact same configuration - the same SSID, WPA2-Personal security setting, the same network key, even the same channel. Everything appears to be working fine but I wanted to be sure that I've optimized my configuration. Is it best to have them broadcasting on the same channel or should I set them for different channels? Is there anything else I should know about configuring and operating multiple access points?
Also, would my wireless coverage noticeably improve if I replaced the stock antennas with the Linksys HGA7T high gain antennas? They're two-thirds the price of the individual access points themselves and not worth the investment unless they offer dramatic performance improvements. I'd greatly appreciate any help!
