I have a total of 4 AEBS at work and I am looking to get a stable wireless network set up throughout the building but I am needing a little bit of help.
The building is two floors with a concrete floor separating them but other than that they are open spaces. We are already running a wired network for the desktops but I have a about 10 laptops that I need to have on the system with a stable connection throughout the building. The occupied top floor has very good coverage from the first AEBS that was set up but the bottom floor has a lot of dead spots. What I was thinking was that I would use the original AEBS and one other on the top floor and then the other two on the lower floor. My problem is that I am not quite sure on how to properly (also most efficiently) extend my wireless.
I am running static IPs on all of my desktops and running DHCP assigned addresses on the laptops, these addresses are pulled from a range of 20 that I have opened at the Cisco firewall.
How do I need to configure the other AEBS to get the best signal? What other information do you need to best advise me on this?
