Title: Setup 3 DAP-2553
Post by: Mordillo98 on January 26, 2011, 11:39:29 AM
Hey,

I used to have 2 DAP-2553 that are configured WDS to AP. They load balance themselves great, no problem there.

When I try to put a third one in the picture, my entire network (wireless and wired) starts going slower, and slower. At one point, I need to turn off the 3rd AP.

The first one is configured to load balance with the 2nd one. I tried to have the 3rd one to load balance with either the 1st one, or second one, with no success.

What I am doing wrong? My experience is slowness in the network means I am looping those wireless APs, but can't figure out how...

Scenario 1

Firewall <-----> Switch <-----> AP 1 <-----> AP 2 = Fine.


Scenario 2

Firewall <-----> Switch <-----> AP 1 <-----> AP 2 <-----> AP 3 = Network Loops in slow motion


Scenario 3

Firewall <-----> Switch <-----> AP 1 <-----> AP 2
Firewall <-----> Switch <-----> AP 1 <-----> AP 3

= Network Loops in slow motion

Scenario 4

Firewall <-----> Switch <-----> AP 1 <-----> AP 2
Firewall <-----> Switch <-----> AP 1 <-----> AP 3
Firewall <-----> Switch <-----> AP 2 <-----> AP 3

= Network Loops in slow motion


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
