The choice of wireless equipment (Wi-Fi access points) in the office?

Actually, there is an office - several floors, walls - plasterboard / several bearing ones. It would be desirable to organize wireless N-standard in all territory of office. It is planned to connect ~50-100 devices.
Advise, please, adequate equipment (not d-Link), which is suitable for solving this problem. Also, if there is any advice on how best to organize this business, I would like to hear it :)

UPD: Thank you all, we will probably focus on UBIQITI UNIFI. Perhaps I would like to take Cisco, but the budget does not allow it.

If you need seamless routing and centralized management of your wireless network, look to UniFi.

Five-story building + basement, brick walls, 3 UBIQITI UNIFI points per floor, 1 year, normal flight. Recommend.

Recently I asked a question on Habré on the same topic.
Recommended by UniFi.
Launched, works great.
Look at Amazon, they are sold in sets of 3 or by the piece.
Keep in mind that for full operation you need a software controller on a dedicated computer that allows you to configure all points, manage the network and supports roaming when moving around the building.
There are versions for Mac and Windows.
Good luck!

There is advice not to listen to the advice of people offering to install more than one device. Use coke and antennas divorced from the only one. If you don't like dlink, install zyxel. I want something cooler - cisco or 3com. Although good dlinks can perfectly hold 50-100 devices.

I will only say one name Xirrus wifi array. Expensive but cool.

50-100 devices is quite a network already. I would highly recommend looking at a managed network with a controller. good option Cisco 2504 Wireless Controller, plus points. If the budget allows, then 1141, you can save a little and take 1041. Well, depending on the density of distribution of users and the layout of the room, the number of licenses on the controller and points will vary. When planning your network, keep in mind that a density of more than 12 people per point is not recommended. If the density of clients is higher, then consider the possibility of load balancing (the density of points should be higher)

If you want something like Cisco, but for a reasonable price, look at Motorola. Networks up to 24 points work without a controller (one of the points will become a controller). CLI is similar to Cisco, but the logic is a little different - you will need to smoke manuals and Howto. In fact, it all depends on the tasks and points. If you need QoS and roaming - one thing, if you don't need it, you can get by with D-Link.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
