using an engenius wireless access point as a repeater for a sonicwall
would anyone know if I'll have a problem using an engenius wireless access point to act as a repeater for a sonicwall wirelss UTM's signal? I know the engenius can be set as a repeater.... but is that only when it's repeating a signal from another engenius device? I woudl think 802.11g is a standard so we should be ok with sonicwall to engenius?

I don't think you can repeat the signal from a SonicPoint via an Engenius bridge. It's not a matter of being 802.11g compatible, but more that repeating itself isn't standard. If you can use WDS on each device that might be the way to go but I'd highly doubt it will work in any case.
'Repeating itself isn't standard'.... there's a feature in the Engenius and other wireless hardware to act as a repeater - extend the signal from a WAP by relaying / repeating signals. So I'm surprised / disappointed in you doubting it will work in any case. Because of different brands? or the concept? Sure, the repeater having to repeat things slows down the throughput, but it's a way to extend range I thought.
