WDS, Airport Express and bandwidth
I have an Airport Express (802.11g) and am looking to extend its reach with WDS. Our kitchen used to be the garage on our house and is surrounded by thick concrete walls. This means that the signal drops dramatically in the place where we webcam with the grandparents the most. I have looked to acquire an older Airport Extreme Base Station to set up a WDS to extend the reach of our signal from upstairs to the kitchen; however, I have read that a WDS cuts the bandwidth in half. My question is: Is the maximum bandwidth of the Airport stations cut in half (54Mbps down to 27), or is my internet bandwidth cut in half (from 1.4Mbps down to .7)? If it is the former, then my internet bandwidth is not affected. Perhaps I am not understanding bandwidth correctly. Thanks for any responses.
