Both servers send broadcasts on the network inviting the legacy devices to connect to whichever is available.

I’m trying to change the whole topology to wireless and was thinking of installing a 3Com WL-524 Access Point to every one of the legacy devices and a higher grade 3Com Wireless 7760 Access Point to the Windows XP servers.

Its like having slave AP(s) communicating with a master AP, but I dont want the slave AP(s) to communicate with each other.

Now my query is will this work ? and what mode should i setup the AP(s) to ?

Client / Bridge / PTP / or PTMP mode ?

I also need the wireless devices to be transparent, thus preserving the static IP(s) currently set.

No internet, no gateways, its just a closed point to multi points network.

Any clues?
