Hi

I'm an IT guy (jack of all IT trades), not a network engineer.

I have three 2860 FW routers that are spare so I've set them up as a basic WIFI router with a wired bridge to the other two and they are used as a simple WIFI AP's. First router is DNS server, all have matching ssid's, encryption etc.
As these are seriously over specked for what I am using them for I am concerned I don't have them set up optimally, On the AP I want all FW and advanced features turned off. Ive gone through all the settings and where the option is available to disable a feature I have, however is there a better way for them to work together, can you set them up so they know the one is master the others are slaves/AP's?

I don't want to spend money on dedicated AP's etc when I have these as surplus. Can any of you who know the interface for these, advise?
