I was told today that I'm going to be setting up a wireless network in two days. I'm a server guy so I'm a little rusty at this. Here is a description of the work, then I have a few questions.
We will be about 45 users connected to the wireless network. All users will be doing web based data entry and some light printing. They will all be within close proximity in a relativity open room. Here goes the questions...... 1. With only doing web browsing do you think one access point should be enough? Without testing the load I know this is not really a good question... but is there a general rule of thumb? 2. If I need to add more access points how do I get them to work on the same network? Same SSID? 3. If I have multiple wireless AP's do I want them on different channels but same SSID? or Same Channel and same SSID? 4. Is there an advantage to getting an Cisco Aironet vs say a Linksys for a small deploy like this if I don't need to centrally manage them and don't need all the extra bells and whistles. 5. IP addresses and roaming... How best to do this if I go the Linksys route? Ok I see I need to do a bit of reading Thanks for any input Matt ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
