I own a campsite and need to cover it with wifi. What is the best option?
I intent to use the following material:
1 x mikrotik RB4011 (RB4011iGS+RM)
3 xmikrotik Metal 52 ac (RBMetalG-52SHPacn)
2 x mikrotik cAP ac (RBcAPGi-5acD2nD)
Primary usage of the equipment is to have 2 vlans on the network. Vlan 1 is for office usage and with 25% bandwidth the vlan2 is for tourists with 75% of the bandwidth. Booth vlans will be over Wi-Fi on different ssids. Aditionaly the vlan of the turists is on a hotspot controlled network with radius server (radius running ideally in router if possible). Eventually an external vpn server may be used with 1 or 2 clients connected.
This is the map, of the campsite to cover with wifi (not 100% but as much as possible) the points 1 are outdoor aps that will be mounted on light poles, the points 2 are indoor access points, for the cafe and the home. At the moment i have one rb metal 51 ap and has a good coverage at 2.4Ghz, in the map is the one closer to the river).
i think you better go with wap ac’s for access points, based on number of user that should connect you chose the quantity and the location.
RB4011 is fine as main router and you can set as capsman, hotspot users can be managed through usermanager
yes it’s weatherproof so you can mount it outside, the only thing i would suggest the white version, you should avoid black colors for outside devices, you want them to absorb less heat possible form the sun (unless you live somewhere near the pole)
