Re: Wireless Repeaters

Also, look into using Power over Ethernet to drive the WAPs. That way you
only have to run Ethernet and not power to where the WAPs are deployed. We
use Cisco WAPs that are powered by the Ethernet plug. Of course your switch
needs to be somewhat robust to handle it.

Seconded.

Wireless Repeaters are a hack at best. They are meant for home
environments, where cabling cost is a big issue.

In an Office environment, i'd suggest you to hire a company that does
professional wireless deployments. They have the appropriate gear to
measure where your APs need to be for full coverage.

Also: Purchase a centrally managed wireless solution. I'm fond of
Cisco's Wireless controllers and their LWAPPs. With this, you can
centrally manage your wireless LAN, which makes it much easier to
debug issues.
