:

so i will have to partially do at least 2 wifi antennas and some
lan hookups

i use a computer with ICS instead of a router to supply IP's (for
bandwidth management reasons)

problem1 :
they all have to be on the same subnet, in other words i can not
just run wifi routers that give out new sets of IP's

how do i do that ? can i use a wifi router like i would a wired
switch ? what option is that in the routers settings ?

an alternative option would be to have 1 NIC card and 2 wifi cards
in the ICS computer, again not sure how to tell ICS to use 3
network cards for ICS output, is that even possible ?



What you really need to do is to connect two Access Points to your
ICS output. A wireless router can be configured to act like an
access point. Simply turn off the DHCP feature in the wireless
router and make all connections to the LAN ports (do not use the WAN
port). Ideally you would use Cross-cables although most modern
routers will self-sense the connection direction and will work with
standard cables.

HTH,
