Can one have a WAP connected to a WAP is in infrastructure mode; that is connected to a different network?
The reason why i want to do this is because i want to connect my middle floor to upstairs. Ethernet cabling, drilling, MOCA, Powerline are all impracticable-impossible. Basically the WAP upstairs will be broadcasting a different SSID on a different channel which is connected to the WAP which is in infrastructure mode, connected to the router in the middle floor.
Could anyone recommend any combinations of routers and WAP preferably high gain and performance as its gotta go through 220mm floor which is grade 32 and double brick walls when broadcasting on the floor. All end devices use 1-3 streams of N mostly 2-3 and dbi is important as phones don't have all that strong sending strength. Omni direction preferred as it will be in the centre of the house. Replaceable antennas is a plus.
OR
Should i ditch that idea and just get a universal repeater?
P.S. Does infrastructure mode support multiple devices behind it (Ethernet) or cut bandwidth in half like bridge mode?
Sorry i dont know if this should go in buying or general... its a bit of both.
