We have a contractor who has set up a wifi network in our large 3
story art center which is an old building filled with concrete walls
and columns. He has used a Sonic Wall router and so far 2 access
points. The signal seems strong most of the time, at least if measured
by the bars showing
Wireless networking is still largely a black art. The Kennedy Center had a
consulting company survey the facility and they determined it would take 512
APs to fully light the building; public spaces, the houses and office space.
That's going to take them a while.
Your APs are what the clients use
The router is a SonicWall TZ190W the access points are EnGenius
ECB-3220. THe access points are both located on the second floor
which only has studios around the perimeter of the building so it is
mostly open over the first floor in the center. There is a very large
open staircase in the
This is outside my area of expertise but from what I know, my guess is
that are going to need a lot more equipment/ access points, repeaters
etc and the assistance of an experienced, credentialed consultant/
contractor. Steel in building is a real problem and so can be the

Also, per the vendors FAQ, check the firmware version of your
ECB-3220 access point.

Good catch rocky. You don't get any more on point than that.

Tom,
Very interesting suggestions. I will forward your suggestions to the
wifi contractor who has not yet had a chance to come to our site to
check out the problems. Would the interference just affect the
connection without affecting the signal strength? We do have some
welders in the bui

Knowing this I would have recommended against WiFi.
