Re: New home office setup. Please comment on feasability
In agreement with what was said before but would like to add that the only real advantage to the second access point would be to segregate you work stuff from your home entertainment stuff but since you have the file server on the same switch it wouldn't make a difference unless you get a managed switch and divide it into two Vlans, does add some complexity to your set up but it will give you the best of both worlds. it's currently how i have my home office set up. yea having more than one access points broadcasting will actually cut your range down so placement is definitely important. my advice for running two or more is don't depend on the auto channel setting manually separate them i usually use channel 2, 4 or 9 since most access point use 1,6 or 11 so that should also help you if you have neighbors close by with their own wireless networks. |
