That's a UT StarCom F1000G ...

I have one of those phones and it's not very good - certianly can't handle roaming between APs on the same networks at all. It's still firmly in the "toy" category for me, I've *never* subject my paying clients to it!

We're thinking of buying a couple for communication between our IT team
members across 5 floors in 2 buildings.

Forget it and get a SIP based DECT phone with proper DECT repeaters. Look at the Siemens range. I'm using the C460IP's and range coverage with a single wall mounted base unit is 10x better than WiFi. Repeaters are avalable to extend the range too, and it all "just works".

Or just get a decent contract on your mobile phones and use them with a GSM base unit with a SIM on the same contract. (to enable desk phone to mobile communcation at the contract rate and vice versa) I've used this:

with good results, although it's analogue, it does the job and is cheap enough for most small systems.
