My friend is a landlord at a apartment building and I agreed to help him setup a wireless network that can provide wireless access to his tenants. The building is fairly big 158 unit 5-story apartment building. The building is 5 stories and was built around 1950 so concrete floors and metal lath and plaster walls, fairly heavy construction so I needed to put a wireless network together that could penetrate all that crap.
My initial idea was to pick up a Trendnet TEW-310APBX access point that allowed for ap to ap connectivety which would allow for a large number of logins. I was also thinking of attaching atleast a 12 dbi gain antenna to each AP and having two AP's saturate the entire complex. If anyone has any better thoughts on how to do this or any better equipment to use, it would be most appreciated.
Thanks All...
