now this thread really is interesting
i actually just wanted to buy a second wndr3700 to solve my issues
my current setup :
(internet+htpc)<-wired->wndr3700<-2.4Ghz->workstation/fileserver
the problem:
an htpc has limited space inside the case in is supposed to be REALLY quiet, currently i have 4 hhds installed, which is too loud an space is running out, so i wanted to put the hdds into the workstation an stream the files (also some bd.iso's) over the wireless lan. unfortunately the range of the wndr3700 is not good enough (my flat really isn't big, but has two stories and wireless reception is low at my desk) but at a different location on the second floor the reception is good enough to stream bds (i've tested it by moving the workstation) so i thought i could do the following setup with two wndr3700s
internet+htpc<-wired->wndr3700<-5Ghz->wndr3700<-2.4Ghz->workstation
so the second wndr3700 would act as a bridge on 5Ghz but having the 2.4Ghz wlan activated there shouldn't be any loss (so i thought) as two completely different bands are used and the wndr3700 has some what 8 antennas build in as far as i know so it should be able to receive and transmit on both bands simultaneously
but from what i read here this setup will not work (pleas correct me)
a different setup which still should work would be:
internet+htpc<-wired->wndr3700<-5Ghz->bridge(5Ghz)<-wired->bridge(2.4Ghz)<-2.4Ghz->workstation
in my mind this should work, but then i thought this holds:
wndr3700 = bridge(5Ghz)<-wired->bridge(2.4Ghz)
and now i'm confused and hope you are not
