Hey guys, this is my first time posting here.. : )
Anyway I was wondering if anyone can reference me to a good website, book, or source material that can explain in detail how to set up and bridge router networks for things like small businesses and hotels.
I don't have much technical experience when it comes to these things so please make it noob-friendly.
The reason I need to know is because I'm trying to help my family's small hotel get with the times and have good wifi for the guest. Currently we do have wifi except it was done very poorly by the last technician resulting in multiple networks with different long random passwords. (It's very frustrating if your a guest that has to switch networks every time you move around the hotel.)
One more note is also how thick our concrete walls are so we need around 5-6 routers at least to get signal everywhere conveniently. I'm not so sure but I'm guessing routers should also be within the same model type so that bridging them would be easier if their OS was an issue?
Also the hotel is on a tropical country and temperature for the current routers cause them to stall/reset due to overheating. So routers that are robust to hot areas or cooling ideas are appreciated as well.
Btw would the airport express be a good choice? The reason I ask also is cause of my hardware as I have a 2010 macbook pro and thought it would be easier to set up. For home I have set up and bridged a time-capsul with an airport express and felt comfortable setting it up so if they are up to the job I would also consider buying airport expresses.
Any help or feedback will be greatly appreciated! : )
