    Arrow Need recommendations for 3 WAP to cover a 10 room house

    A friend has asked me to help set up wireless at their guest house and I need to ask you guys for recomendations...

    There are some foot thick granite walls and I have worked out locations for 3 WAPs to cover the building, on channels 1, 6 and 11...

    Now where I need advice:

    They are not advertising this as a service, but if people ask, they want to be able to offer it in more than only the 2 rooms beside their office that can pick up their current wireless signal... So they want to do it cheap...

    What equipment is best to use?

    Re: Need recommendations for 3 WAP to cover a 10 room house

    I've been looking at the Linksys WAP610N for £62, but wouldn't be able to wall-mount that one... Would it be stupid to buy a G WAP now that N is finally a standard? The prices of wireless N WAPs and routers seems to vairy a lot! Thats why I am asking for help...

    I'm also started looking at this: D-Link Wireless N ADSL2+ 4-port Modem Router with 1 or 2 additional of these to get the range: D-Link Wireless-N Access Point

    Anyone have comments on these? I notice they are Draft N? So are D-Link not selling N access points to the IEEE N standard yet? - is anyone?

    Oh, and I'm not sure, but I think you set them all up exactly the same and instead of interfering with each other they work together. But I'm sure the manual for them will tell you exactly what to do to make they work at their best.
