I need some help with plans installing wireless access points for a two-story room, 150x150x150 ft (not entirely open, has some walls and ceilings for contour). The access points will connect directly to an existing connection and should accomadate up to 60 people. I'm thinking wireless b/g.

Any suggesstions on brand of access point, number of access points, and installation costs (for wiring and router placement) for those who specialize in this field? Also, any configuration tips?

Basically, i'd like a breakdown on parts and labor. No budget on my part.
BTW, this is strictly research, I have no part of this plan.


All ideas welcome. Thank you for your time. :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand most WAP's can only accomadate up to 32 people. Also, how do I handle the situation when there are a mix of users with either 802.11b and/or 802.11g's. Thank you for your patience.

Just get few 802.11b/g Access Points (D-Link or Linksys will do) and you are set.

No one can tell how many without surveying the site, you will have to try.
