Working with an RV campground, so it's different from whatever is considered a 'standard' net. There are about a 100 sites and each site could have multiple devices. Gaming and streaming are probably not possible, but good access for everyone would be nice while connections between sites should be no easier than connection between two houses in the normal world. Here's the idea.
At the central building, with a Comcast modem of sufficient bandwidth, connect the modem Ethernet connection through a cable to a switch near the routers. Connect the switch to multiple RT-AC32oo routers configured as access points. Each 3200 will connect to an individual 40 degree directional antenna aimed to cover a particular area. Each 3200 will be configured with the same SSID/Password and three FIXED 20MHz channels such that adjacent areas are on different channels. In fact the 2.4 GHz channels don't repeat until two areas away, the 5 GHz channels until three areas away.
The individual users with a very wide range of equipment (even phones) and likely little WiFi knowledge will simply connect to the strongest signal and need only know one SSID and one Password.
Am I missing something? Is there a special configuration I should be aware of?
p.s. The 3200 has six antennas all of which will be removed. In the manual it hints (page 124) that antennas 3, 5, and 6 cover all bands but gives no hint of which antenna is which. It turns out that they are numbered from right to left when looking from the front and a single antenna in 3 (or 5 or 6) works just fine for my purposes.
Thanks.
