At work we currently have two internet connections (Virgin and TalkTalk), each with their own wifi networks (using the standard consumer-looking routers), which are connected to by about 25 people in total. The problem is that people switch between networks, which often leads to one (and then the other) falling over. We're all pretty heavy users, with large files passing backwards and forwards over the internet connection, which doesn't help. Meanwhile, there are a tonne of wifi networks showing up around us, which means that every channel's pretty congested.
I feel like we'd have much better connectivity if we load balanced between the two internet connections and then got a proper wireless access point like the Ubiquiti UniFi that can handle that many connections without falling over. I don't really know what hardware to recommend though and even, really, if my idea of how we should be handling it is the best plan. Thoughts?
