Hy
I am thinking on building a more redundant home network My question would be as following.
As sincs my ISP doesnt allow multiple Cable modems, but allows 3 IPs to be assigned at one time. So the idea I got
|------Router 1 (VRRP) Main ----------Wifi-------------------|
-----Modem-------Switch----| == Repeater
|------Router 2 (VRRP) Standby -----Wifi-------------------|
Both routers would have a seperate wifi and if one fails the second would take over. As I investigated and learnt on BCMSN, VRRP cannot track interfaces and isnt able to switch over the wifi.
So comes the interesting part...1 room further there is going to be a Repeater, so signals can get to the bedroom better, cause sometimes I like to work from bed (I know I am a lazy bastard....)
My question following
If the repeater (of course all 3 running openwrt Kamikaze) has an Ap configured for the main, and a virtual AP configured for the Standby one, Is it possible to configure the Repeater to work for both AP'S on different Channels or do all 3 AP's need to be configured for the same channel?
Is there some better solution already out there on openwrt (VRRP) that I might have not heard of?
I know Modem and Switch are SPOF, but these are the steps where I can start on implementing redundancy.... I wish I could go with 2 modems but ISP wont allow it ..:(
