If you have an 802.11a the WAP only needs one radio because this radio
can simultaneously be a master and a station. This radio will create
wireless hops automatically when it cannot communicate to the wired
network.
WAPs must be on the same IP subnet as the access point. Also, data from
wireless end devices should not go through more than three wireless
hops before it gets to an access point on the primary LAN.
The following procedure explains how to install a simple wireless
network with a WAP and no roaming end devices. For help installing a
simple wireless network with a WAP and roaming end devices, see the
two examples in the next sections.
