Hello,
I am pretty new to Wifi network so please forgive me if that seems stupid to you...
My goal is to set up a network of 5 APs and one router to be able to use the Wifi all over a big house.
I would like to use WDS to get a sort of roaming system.
All APs will be connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
I am planning to buy the new cAP 2n for the internal APs, 2 SXT SA5 for the outdoor APs and a RB2011UiAS-IN for the router.
However, in that setup, i am mixing 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies and i am wondering if that can work to achieve the goal of a roaming wifi system.
I have read that we can use WDS setup (if ethernet) to get a low latency disconnect/reconnect process but i have no idea if clients will accept to switch from a 2.4Ghz SSID network to a 5Ghz SSID network.
If not i will need to choose between a 5Ghz and a 2.4Ghz network i guess.
Then, for a 5Ghz network, my problem would be that APs are mostly outdoors APs and my customer don't want a router style device.
And if a 2.4Ghz network, will the outdoors APs be good enough to cover a big area...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Julien.
