Current Situation :

The Hotel consists of 2 wings each wing has 4 Floors all floors have 4 to 6 AP's.
All the AP's are connected to a Switch through LAN Cable.
The AP's can interfere with each other so they are configured on
non overlapping channels and also low power.
They all have the same SSID

The question, is it advisable to use WDS or another form of combined AP Wifi, as we have a lot of problems with people having disconnects.

The AP's are 54Mbit (CICSO AIR-AP1131AG-A-K9) total AP's = 28
The Internet is 4mbit

Kind Regards
Hooki

Do you have a controller for all those APs? That should take care of everything.

The disconnects are likely from interference, you can run a spectrum analyzer/site survey tool to see what's going on but normally the controller does a good job of distributing the channel and power. Make sure you're running the latest 7.0.116 code as there have been major improvements, especially with channel/power level.
