I wont even get involved in "wifi" solutions of any scale here. Boss doesnt want to do legitimate surveys, just wants to sell APs. What i push sales on, i either know the layout and demand, or tell the people that without a legitimate survey that im not the contact for support. And i wont do more than 4 APs period if theres not a legitmate survey
