tain Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Yes, all of that needs to be the same because the device extending your range is actually on your network.Your card is unlikely to have a fixed channel. It probably uses whichever channel (1-11) is being used on the network that you connect to. You need to worry about the channel at the router/AP level.
