If you aren't going to place school servers in the actual schools,

No, but there are regulatory issues there and we won't be using them

available to run tests with.
The exact model is Linksys WRT54Gv8. You'd th

Now you're starting to see what I've seen :-/ I also worry about your
APs and networking infra -- to support 400 active users you'll want at
