My network currently constists of one Netgear WNDR3700 router (which acts as the DHCP and AP) and a couple of HP 1810 switches.
But I have some weakspots in my wireless network, and I'm also looking to expand it to the new garage we're building.
To do this I'm looking to remove the wireless functionality from the WNDR3700, and instead go with 3 APs in the house, and one in the garage. I also notive that Netgear has a Wireless Management System that only costs about $40 and can controll up to 5 APs, so I'm planing on going with Netgear all the way.
I'm looking to have one encrypted network, and one guest network that guests can use for their phones/MP3/laptops. And I think Netgear offers this on most of their APs.
The plan is to have one AP at each en of the house, and one in the middle, all mounted high up on the walls, so they cover both the 1st and 2nd floor.
Anyone know what Netgear AP is the best one?
Should all APs run on the same channel? Or will that make them "cancel" each other out?
