Hey everyone,
We are building a small hotel covering a large and difficult to manage area in China. I'm trying to get things organized in advanced for all the network systems required and imagined that there'd be some great advice on this forum. Here's what it looks like:
- Total size= 600sqm
- Total rooms= 12, with multiple public areas and gardens
- Each of the 12 rooms needs a gigabit connection for general use, and another one to the TV system for access to the media server
- Wifi must cover two public areas and one public rooftop, as well as all bedrooms and two main gardens
- Two fiber connections will be accessible to the hotel, about 10mbps each at least, one for public access and one separate one for hotel guests
- The hotel guest connection should be directly a DD-WRT capable router allowing stable VPN access for everyone on that network
Can't think of what else is needed. We currently have the exact same kind of setup using a mix of apple and netgear routers in a similar 10 room site. Success hasn't been great and the system isn't rock-solid enough. The fiber connection goes straight into the main wifi router, which is linked to another netgear 24+8 port switch, further split to all the rooms and additional netgear wifi routers in 8 different zones throughout the hotel.
Thanks in advance for your input!
