Hi all,
Just discovered this great site while doing some research for my office's wireless LAN. I've got a question which I've run by a few of my friends, but I figured it would be good to get your input as well.
While we get construction finished, I've picked up a DIR-825 hooked up directly to our T1 line just to have something running until I finish planning the rest of the network.
My question is this... how would you cheaply and effectively set up the whole office for good, seamless, wireless coverage? That is, the goal is that all clients see one SSID with the same WPA-Enterprise security information, so that when they travel from one part of the office to the next, they essentially assume they're connecting to the same AP regardless of their location.
I've got CAT5e drops in each of the four corners, and my strategy thus far is to buy 3 more DIR-825s, wire them back to the LAN ports of the first DIR-825... disable DHCP... duplicate the security settings on each router. Is this a good strategy?
My one concern is that any time I make a security change, I have to do so on each subsequent router. Also, if each client gets his own login credentials via WPA-Enterprise, will I have to create those credentials on each router the same as the first?
Any input is appreciated!
