HI, i have a family operated hotel and want to install a wireless network on it. i have broadband right now and all the rooms are hardwired. now the new AP's with tri band A/B/G are they good? i need this because this is what everyone has (either A/B/G) also the Ap should handle at least 150+ people. also i will have to daisychain them. is it possible to do that? also i wanted to install omni antennas in the hallway so can i daisychain them. please somebody help by giving ideas. thanks alot

A bit of clarification. 802.11A/B/G is dual band (5GHz & 2.4GHz respectfully). However it is Tri-Mode (A/B/G). As for the omni's and daisy chaining if you mean what I think you mean then no, you do not want to do that. What is the layout of the area to be covered? # of floors? Rooms per floor? etc...

A family operated hotel.. A guy running it, who don't know how to use capital letters at the start of a sentence... And this guy haven't got the faintest idea of setting wireless stuff up, but still wants to do it him self...
Sheesh... Ain't checking in to that hotel.. Fawlty Towers was run as a 5 star hotel compared the above strategy...

Hint: Get a professional to survey, plan, and install the wireless network, if you want it done properly.. Remember, it's a service you are providing to customers. If it ain't working correctly, it will reflect on the hotels perceived overall service.
Don't do it yourself, just because you know how to switch on your Windows pc.

With all the precision of a 30lb sledge hammer, Dutch gets right to the point that I'm sure many of us were thinking but just couldn't get the words out..

Dutch made some very good points in his post. And since you obviously have no idea what you are doing I have to agree with him.

Here we go again..


wifinewb,

Let's clear a few things up. The very fact that you have "newb" in your name clarifies a major point... You are new here. Don't be a 'tard!

Walking in and telling the seasoned pros here to "stop bing so stupid" won't win you any friends. In fact, you'll end up in the newbie bin faster than you can type out a spiteful response to any of these messages. CHILL!!!

Ask nicely, provide useful information when asking questions, and treat people here with respect. Do so, and you will be treated in kind.

The questions your asking indicate you've had a little experience with some WiFi equipment, but it sounds like you know how to drive a go-cart but you think you can drive a tractor-trailer. The basics are the same, but everything is on a much bigger scale, it can crash a lot quicker and a lot harder, and it will cause a lot more hurt when it does.

This is NOT a Do-It-Yourself project. With a setup that large, you need a professional install, and a budget of $2k to $20K (depending on a number of factors.)

If you currently have all the rooms "hardwired" then you must have someone providing some level of technical assistance. You should start by talking to your IT people.

By the way, this isn't AOL. Please read this:http://www.netstumbler.org/showthread.php?t=12814 as well as the rest of the Rules.

*sigh* School is out appearently...
Furthermore, when you post on a public forum, you DON'T have any say in who is responding to your question. Secondly, I helped, I actually went above and beyond the call of duty, by providing you with gratis advice about you being in over your head..

The only stupid thing here, is you being to daft to realise WHEN you get good advice. Furthermore, if you don't realize that you are asking for help in providing a service for customers of the hotel, and that how they experience that service IS part of the business of running the hotel, than my statement comparing Fawlty Towers to your establishment stands valid and correct.

Now either read, listen and learn, or go back to school non the wiser.
