From the customer setup perspective, it is for a small Hotel, not wired, but currently offering unlimited and uncontrolled wifi access to internet to its customers. We're talking about 20 rooms. From what I understand from PF so far, I would probably go with the Inline option in order to avoid the cost of a manageable switch for a WLAN only environment. In that case, would a simple AP do ? Although you list a lot of them, is there a preferred one or a least desirable one although working ? Do I need to extend the HW for the server 8 Gb RAM with only one NIC so far ? Could that be the preferred option for the case in question ?
