I am designing a wireless network for a hotel out here in Southern California. The owner wants to provide free Internet access to all guests. There are 2 floors with 59 rooms each. I do not have the exact square footage but I would guess 200 x 200.
I am looking at Buffalo Technology’s AirStation, Cisco’s Aironet series, and D-links Access Point stuff.
What I am trying to figure out is it cheaper to go with maybe 3 D-links or 2 of the stronger 200mw AP’s such as Cisco’s or Engenius? I have been reading that power is a difference maker when it comes to this type of environment.
If you have any suggestions please reply. Thank you all!
