Using two Cisco Aironet 1100's

Question

Is it possible to use two of these both providing connectivity to the same network name for additional signal by having one plugged into a hot data port and having the other only powered by the AC? It seems to have worked for one day, then it stopped and I have the middle light blinking, and the other "hot" one solid in the middle and flashing rapidly on the last light.

Answer 1

You need to set up the one that's plugged into the network with a root role and set up the other one as a repeater.
