I am installing ap's around our bldg's. Is there a overlap setting on ciscoap's? Needed to get more information...

Just a wild-ass guess, but you might try .

Doug Jamal · Answer

If everyone is going to be on the same network, you could set the SSID and encryption to be the same on each AP but give each AP its own channel. If each AP is going to represent a separate network, give each one its own SSID, encryption keys and channel. It might be a good idea to enable MAC address filtering on each AP under these conditions.

Thx for the reply Doug. What I have done to this point is set the ssid to bethe same and set the encryption to 40 bit on the transmit side. I also hadinformation on encryption mode wep mandatory mic key-hash, which I haveenabled (still researching this one). The authentication I have set to openand used guest mode. Could you recommend a good book on Cisco wireless? Iwill move forward with your channel suggestion, this sounds like a goodidea. thx again, larry
