Campus Wide Wifi

[Thomas Edelblute]

We have some 802.11ac hardware on order and we hope that it will have greater distance than 802.11g and 802.11n hardware we currently use.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Campus Wide Wifi

Good afternoon,

Our library has been limping by with a pretty standard router for our wireless. We use a sonicwall to route our cable internet through (30 mbps download) and then a Belkin router and a repeater on the back end of the library. We have  pretty small building, but there is a park on the side of our building. We would like to provide wifi for our building and the park. Currently, the signal reaches the park but is very weak and our wireless is slow and usually overloaded.

Does anyone have a configuration of hardware/software that allows their wireless to cover a significant area (like a city block) and allows for many users without compromising bandwidth? I've done some research and there seems to be a lot of ways to go about this, but I'd love to hear about solutions that have worked well.

Thanks!
