Hi, I work in one hotel, which has in every room D-Link DI-524. I’m very noob to Mikrotik, but so far I’ve heard good opinions about this hardware and RouterOS. One of the biggest problems I have is that it has very strong walls using ferrum. I’m planning building network with RB2011 indoor version http://reloadbg.com/product/395/ and using this router http://reloadbg.com/product/348/ as wlan controller or some other software to monitor these AP. Have other problem - I can mount these AP on ceiling - above or on the ceiling itself of almost every floor which possibly will make need of PoE switch to restart them. Is there some other case for ceiling mount for this model, or even some other model which is more reliable? I’m planning to test it first on couple of floors. The hotel has about 50 rooms.
Would something like this http://www.rfelements.com/en/products/enclosures/stationbox-inspot/ be suitable?
Hmmm, I’m looking again at some solution, this autumn there possibly will be some money. I’m looking to install RB951UI-2hnd in ceiling on every room (or possibly 1 will be for 2 rooms). Router holding them with CAPsMAN is CCR1009… don’t know the model. I will install also one rack in maid room with patch panel to mark the cables or possibly not. Somebody advised me to put on the corridors RB2011, but I think this option is not good. Thank you in advance.
Why placing RB951Ui in every room? You can place RB2011 in every second or third room. RB2011 is powerfull to cover 2-3 rooms with internet . Additional you can make the hotspot.
Make it cheaper and put a hap lite every second room. If rooms are on both sides of corridor place them zigzag or maybe right in the corridor. There will be no problem with 10-15m radius.
