Techies I have a situation of which is the exact choice to make in installation of wireless in a residential building that has five floors and twelve 1 bed rooms per floor! please I welcome your suggestion on the preferred devices to use to accomplish the task. regards Mwei.
Hi Mwei, It is usually good practice to start with a wifi survey of the entire building so that you can arrive at a fairly good set of requirements. Things like: - Placement of APs for optimum coverage - APs per floor for optimum coverage - Interference and channels available
From there, you can zero in on a brand / model and quantity that fits your requirements.

@Mwei, Ungeliandika swali kwa lugha ambayo inaeleweka. Anyway. it sounds like you want to become a WISP for some residential building that has 5 floors. It has 12 units per floor. Those are 60 units in total. The challenge you are likely to face is how the signal reaches each room, depending on which side of the room is exposed to the WiFi signal, where the room occupant wants to access the services. I also believe that NOT all rooms will require connectivity This is gonna be very challenging. There is no straight answer, so go do your homework on how the signal will reach the users and stop passing that to us! :-) On Wed, Nov 9, 2011 at 15:52, mwei gideon <mweigideon@gmail.com> wrote:

@Bernard Thanks for your views I resorted to atleast 4 outdoor access points! about the channels I'll handle that. @Washington Being a WISP has nothing to do with this it's a landlord simply appreciating Technology and not only DSTV to it's Tenants and since the house was not designed for structured cabling makes wireless the better option.
