PLEASE SEE MY OTHER THREAD, http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.php?t=276599
I FIGURED THIS ONE OUT.








I'll try to ask this in a way that makes "SOME" Sense and hope i get a sensable answer.

ok so here in iraq our internet is distrubted through monthly subscriptions from those who buy a bigger subscription from satellite providers. ya. it sux. real bad. i so miss my cable modem back in san diego i could cry!

the way i have it setup now is i have an access point on the roof thats picking up the signal from the "Wireless Distrubution Point" or rather the internet provider. a cat 5 cable running down that i connect to the ibook. the access point on the roof which i'll call AP1 (dlink dwl 900+) so it makes sense with the attached picture, is set to be an ACCESS CLIENT or WIRELESS CLIENT.

my question is as follows

I have another access point (We'll call this AP2 [dlink dwl-2100]) laying about so i got to thinking why not do this: Set AP1 (900+) as a repeater and set AP2 (dlink dwl 2100) another repeater then get the ibook to take the signal from AP2 (2100) so i can roam about the house freely? will this work? please help me figure this out.

and now an image that i drew to show...
