Our wireless lan is currently reaching 1000 users or so.I'm not very confortable with the idea of having such number of users in a subnet. We have deployed around 60 cisco autonomous acess points throughout the campus and this subnet is firewalled and routed in our core switch which is a hope away to accessing Internet.It's very simple design. What would be a recommended deployment in this case with a growing number of users? Would deploying lwap bring any advantage to this design? We want to keep a single ssid and mobility. What about a mesh network?
