[QUOTE="Karl Peterson, post: 89779, member: 4429"] Re: Wireless routers Good Golly there is a lot of info here. One of the various hats I wear is I am a practicing Network Infrastructure Architect/Engineer. In fact at this moment I am sitting at the control console for a enterprise wifi network capable of carrying 1000+ end user nodes. The OP's request isn't out of line, although it will be difficult. I would recommend one of a few AP's While the cisco products are perfectly fine, they are not a product I would go to for standalone use. The ubiquity products are reasonable for what they cost, but I am not sold on them yet (I have a few networks running on them at the moment). While they are getting better, they would not yet be what I would classify as mission-critical. For the OP's needs I would direct him one of two ways. On the lower end of the spectrum I would recommend a D-link DAP-2590. This is a solid dual band router in a metal casing with wall-wart or POE compatibility. On the higher end, I would recommend he looks towards a ruckus product. Ideally a 7962 as it will be their highest performing AP and the multi-phased antenna and active beam stearing will make a difference in his environment. The 7363 would also be a reasonable choice, although you loose some of the polarization benefits. These AP's still perform very well without central controllers while still being easy to manage. In either case, run it in 5G and _do_ hide the SSID. Use WPA2/AES as your connection type. So long as you have line of sight this should work out alright. Karl P [/QUOTE]
