I have the following situation:
Office building w/ 2 floors. 1st floor has about 10 users - no networking, just broadband connection sharing.
2nd floor has about 4 users - also only connection sharing (no networking necessary).
I want to set up the two floors on seperate networks (this is a requirement).
I was thinking to either use 2 different frequencies (5 & 2.4 GHz) for 1st & 2nd floor.
Or maybe just use one frequency w/ different SSIDs (like 802.11g at channel 1 & 11).
However, I was wondering if there is any interferance problems I would deal with using two wireless access points running at differend channels?
Also, how could I assign multiple access points with the same channel (for range extension)? Is there interferance problems or is the hand-over between APs smooth?
BTW, I was looking into SMC routers / APs (possibly)
