My current network utilizes WPA2-Enterprise as its authentication method. I am trying to extend my network further, but most wireless routers that I have found don't support repeating a WPA2-Enterprise signal. So, therefore, I purchased an ASUS EA-N66 to use as my receiver. And, that has worked pretty successfully so far with just a router connected to it. However, I now want to add another AP using the same SSID and same authentication server where it currently lists as (Additional AP)
. My question is how does the Additonal AP
now differentiate which network to connect to, the Wireless AP/Router
vs Additional AP
? My concern is that it will form a loop and then never connect to anything.
My (target/current) network topography looks like this:
RADIUS Server

Internet --> Wireless AP/Router <-(WPA-2 Enterprise)-> EA-N66 ----> Router
|
|

(Additional AP)
Is there something I should be doing specifically to mitigate this problem? Or is there any existing technology that already allows it to avoid this problem?
Previous Research: I have referred to "How can I get the same SSID for multiple access points?" however it does not exactly fit into my problem.
