Suggestion on an Access Point? [couple areas] [proxim]

Q: We are looking to wireless implementation in a few areas of our school. Especially the cafeteria and library.
I m looking at , but wondering if a DLINK will suffice. I have a home and it works fine, but were talking about more users and a larger area.


Best Answer: For you to have internet access you need the following items at your location.

1. An internet connection – DSL, Cable, 3G wireless, etc
2. If you want to use wireless you need either a wireless router or an access point. (These don't work with out #1!)
3. Properly setup the internet, router/ap, and your PSP.

For routers and access points you can use linksys, dlink, netgear, just about any of the manufacturers units will work. Find one you like. (I would say get a wireless router that works with your INTERNET connection!)

Any OPEN coffee shop, McDonalds, Library wifi will also work (as long as they have opened the system for games!)

Hope that helps

Re:DHCP wireless users with non-routed IP.
Install client VPN on all laptops wanting to gain wireless access.
Configure VPN consentrator/router with two interfaces (1 on priv network, 1 on prod network)
VPN users in to grab real IP from prod network.
Use a good authentication protocol for VPN verification.

I think this will work.

A good tip would be to put a web server on the priv network so that a new user has 1 place to visit (before VPN auth) which will hold information on registration and would containthe install file for download of the vpn client.

extra tip: dont allow routing/NAT between the priv and prod network or the whole idea is moot. only allow the tunnel into the prod network. once the user has obtained a prod IP it wil be able to hit the Internet.

Re:The reason I asked about security is because I did some wireless test with a linksys wap54g access point. The documentation states that it can do wpa radius, but from my experience it can't perform this task. I used a windows 2003 IAS server and a windows 2003 certificate server. I was running peap everything on the server side was fine but the clients were always dropping there connections , but if I went back to regular wep everything worked fine. Needless to say our wireless project is on hold here at work we put in a request for a much larger budget we are looking at the and cisco ap's.

How many & how big ?

I think one in each area should suffice.
I gotta figure out how big the library is, but I think one AP might work in this area.

As for the cafeteria, it's pretty big considering we have an extension to the outside. Maybe one should work? I dont know the range of some of the higher ends one, but the one I found (by ) is pretty expensive and one would hope it serves a big area.
