Hello All,

I was wondering, I have a building which I wanted to have wireless link back to a single floor (e.g. top floor). So, I deploy a wireless root bridge at the top floor with a sector or omni-antenna and subsequent floor I would have a non-root bridge with a directional antenna pointing back to the root bridge. If all these non-root bridge in each floor is aligned linearly (meaning, in a single line on top of each other), will this cause any signal cancellation when the 2nd non-root bridge connect to the root bridge (as there's another non-root bridge in the middle blasting RF back to the root bridge)?

2nd scenario if we use a wireless mesh instead of the above normal APs. If we deploy a single backhaul channel wireless mesh in this fashion, will we get signal cancellation as well?

What would be the best recommendation to do this with normal AP?

Would this be better?

Thanks..
