Wireless Solution for 4 floors residence
Wireless Solution for 4 floors residence
Hello all,
I am looking for a wireless solution for a 4 floors house/residence (with multiple rooms and areas) which is constructed out of brick walls and concrete floors. Each floor is approximately 250m². The rooms and areas are already pre-wired for installing APs, in total 18 points are ready to be used for APs throughout the house. I would like to combine EAP245 and EAP235 wall, TL-SG2428P switch, and OC200 controller. Although some of the rooms/area are adjacent to each other, due to the brick and concrete construction I'm thinking that I should put AP in each room/area in order to maintain good wireless signal coverage as you move throughout the building, room to room and from floor to floor. The questions: 1. Is it possible to mix and match the EAP245 and EAP235 Wall? and 2. Is it actually not necessary to install that many APs (from signal coverage point of view), if not how do I determine which AP point that I can skip?
Thank you.
Dan

Hi Jonathan,
Unfortunately no, with 5GHz there are dead spots. More APs are needed to get full house 5GHz coverage. But as long as I get full 2.4 GHz coverage I'm good 😊
I wish TP-Link has similar tools so we can simulate with TP-Links equipments. From the simulation I need to accommodate 9 EAP245, 7 EAP235 wall and OC200. What would you suggest for the PoE switches? If let's say that there are still empty ports on the 2 switches (not TP-Link) located on 2nd fl and 4th fl used for the cameras, can I connect the APs and OC200 to those switches, and just add another switch if the existing port isn't enough?
Thanks,
Danny
