I'm going to do an install on a house with a medium dimension (single floor, 10 divisions)
I'm going to wire all divisions so that is not the issue, but I (also) want to install wireless that covers the entire house.
I've already bought a Cap AC (just before the CAP XL damn) to test coverage and speeds to estimate how many I will need (probably between 2-4, maybe a wap AC in the mix (there is a central place in the building that is outside and should be a good spot to cover a big part of the house) [since all divisions will be wired I will be able to move AP around or add more as needed, so I don't need to get it right at wiring time]
The CAPs will be powered with POE
My question is not about the coverage, but about the best configuration for the CAPs.
I may use capsman or not
What is most advisable:
- Configure in router mode with different IP DHCP ranges per device (does capsman even allow this?)
- Configure in router mode with DHCP being handled by (main) the router to avoid clashes (have never understood if routing tables are updated if you move between APs and keep the same IP)
- Configure in bridge mode so there is a single IP subnet for everything
regarding SSIS:
What is best, configure different SSDIs for 2.4 and 5 Ghz (and let users figure one which they want to connect to) or use the same SSID for both frequencies and let devices handle.
Thank you
