Re: Two ISPs - Which one is used

Yep. I've seen a situation where a customer had put in 500 AP's in a 1M
sq/ft warehouse. The RF units were not staying associated with the AP
for any length of time. It was driving them nuts. It was resolved by
updating the radio driver and tweaking the AP's and network settings.

Typically, the radio will use the access point with the
strongest signal/quality. However, in the case of a tie or
the signal strength/quality changes the radio may switch AP's
often. This can cause performance degradation. Depending on
the radio, settings can be made to minimize the behavior.

routers.

Generally speaking, you can only be connected to one wireless
router at a time (wirelessly, that is).

Or do both wireless routers have the same SSID & password?
