Wireless access point between 2 X Cisco RV110W
Hi All,

goal :  
i have a Cisco RV110W for external wireless in my floor and i would like to extend with an access point

so i bought an additional Cisco RV110W (same switch)  so i can extend the wireless range and i have few questions regarding configuration

Primary-  Cisco-Main that is connected to ADSL (currently working fine with ssd "wireless" and ip range of DHCP is 10.10.10.1-254 /24
Secondery -Cisco-AP that should be connected to the primary on the same network (can even be the same ssid)

configuration :

in the Cisco -AP

1. should be with the same DHCP or no DHCP at all
2. should it be with the same ssid?
3. should i only enable the primary be a repeater ?
4. should Hertz / channels be the same or different ?

what should be the process for connecting the AP to the main cisco

One the primary AP, you need to go to Wireless > WDS. Then check the box to allow the signal to be repeated. If you choosr manual below that, you will need to enter in the MAC address if the second AP.

The second AP should be configure into repeated mode, which should turn off DHCP. The SSID should be the same (this is the point of being a repeater), you might not get a choice on the channel.  If you can make it different do so, but if not, you should be okay.
