Hi

I've had running a couple of 2820n routers configured as bridges, providing wireless service to a small hotel. This worked well, however there was a weak coverage area on the top floor. I then got a 3rd router, popped it on the middle floor of the hotel & configured it as a repeater. This worked ok, but has recently been failing every few days. There are several other wireless networks in the neighbourhood, but not on the same channel. When the repeater fails, it seems that the channels are hopping around for some reason.

We've now wired up some CAT5 & can link all 3 routers together. Do I just connect the middle & top floor routers to the ground floor one, set the same SSID & channels & leave it at that while removing the bridge & repeater configurations?

Thanks & happy new year.
Nick
