Hi all,
We have a client who has a hotel with 30 rooms and they have bought one of these for each room:
ZyXEL ZyAIR NWA-3100 - Radio access point
I was just wondering how you guys would recommend setting these up for best performance?
They have existing wireless in communal areas.
The only requirement is that every guest can easily get wireless Internet access. Against our advice they want this unsecured.
Someone suggested having 30 SSIDs one for each room, but there aren't 30 channels and I'm concerned about interference so was considering one huge SSID that is the same as the communal one.
/edit I forgot to mention that each room has it's own Ethernet port patched into a procurve switch and connected to the optional network on their watchguard firewall. This will be configured to use a new separate Internet connection that has been installed purely for the guests to use for free.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
G
