        The Repeating and Bridging feature will be for the AP50 only, due to it's dual radio configuration. We might look at offering a featureset around the other models later in the future, but that is not currently on our roadmap. Forward looking statements are always a best guess, in this case we have technically reviewed the situation and the AP50 (which uses a totally different driver set) is the one we selected for the initial offering of the feature.

        And the AP30? Become this AP the same Feature (Repeater)?

        It will work with our existing AP's.

        Is the 9.1 beta ready? I must connect a Apple Time Capsule as Repeater to an AP 30.

        Typically a repeater will cut the bandwidth in half.
        Hopefully this will not be the case.
        But even then it would be an incredible feature.

        What is about the hardware? Do I need new APs or will this feature work with one year old AP30 devices?
