Wireless Uplink Issues, not worth the effort.

Wireless Issues: Solution just abandon wireless uplink on UAP devices. 

I recently spent the weekend troubleshooting my slow wireless and dropouts. It appears that for my home setup the wireless uplink was a terrible idea. Although, I many more "bars" of wireless with uplink, I found that it also resulted in significantly degraded performance vs. a standalone access point. Roughly 1/10th the speed.

This brings to my next point, wireless access points should not be used as repeaters unless designed for that specific purpose. 

- At best it results in 1/2 the speed due to the uplink. 

- If the access point has one radio, that will be used for both receiving and transmitting. 

The following link best describes why the approach of repeaters, bridgers, uplinkers often fails.
