Re: [WISPA] Wifi @ a Motel
Mark, Jerome brings up a good point. The mesh system I described was for a different application - providing muni WiFi services (2.4 GHz), including wireless metering, along with future mobility via a 4.9 GHz licensed mesh network. For you L or U Shaped Hotel you can solve your problem with a much simpler system; as mentioned in the other postings. Good luck to you.

A few Buffalo WHR-HP-G54's running openwrt. Do routed WDS links, not bridged. Also use AP isolation to keep client to client traffic down. The RX amp in the HP is VERY nice.

Mark,. Because you asked specifically: We used the Motorola Canopy, Motorola Orthogon, and Moto Mesh products. I worked with my WiSP parnter listed below.

You would probably need at least 3 to cover your setup, one on each straight run. Sam Tetherow Sandhills Wireless Mark McElvy wrote: I am putting together a quote for an older motel. They want to provide wireless access for their customers. The build is a big curving L or almost U with a set of rooms in the middle. It is all one story but the rise in elevation as it curves around. The rooms are your typical glass front, open walkway motel with carports in front. The length of the L or U is approx 800ft. with the distance across the points about 4-500 ft. How well will say an AP w/omni setting ontop of the center building cover such a setup? Or do I need to lean toward several Ap's w 90 -120 sectors pointed at different sections of the buildings? Or other ideas I have not considered. This will be my first setup like this.
