There is a task to quickly deploy a network in an office that does not have a single forwarded copper. Area about 500m2, one floor.
I tend to use inexpensive wi-fi routers with dd-wrt firmware and the following network topology:
server <---> remote main wi-fi router in AP mode (several antennas, high speed) <---> simple routers in Repeater mode (Repeater bridge) in each room or as required.
There is practically no experience in building wireless networks, therefore:
1) Will I have many problems with such a solution? Of particular concern is the IP telephony system, which should be deployed over this network (asterisk + 15 subscribers).
2) Advise good hardware for the task: for the main router and for stupid repeaters.
We do not offer proprietary solutions, since in case of successful experience we plan to use similar systems for our customers.

Connect routers with cables better.

You didn't specify the number of clients.
Briefly, if more than 15-20 per point - there will be seams.
Clients are mobile, will they run from point to point?
Believe me, copper is better.
