So I'm new to all this but trying quite hard to help out a friend.
He's not technologically literate so it's all on me. And I suck at networking so here I am!
Building: 3 Story Hotel
Clients: Guests using wifi to stream internet/media, can throttle
ISP Plan: 25mb
Current Setup:
Main router on 1st floor at front desk, connects to 2 different extenders on ceiling of 2nd floor.
On first floor signal is strong, but extenders are doing a bad job despite me going in multiple times for config. I set up WPA2 (open network before) and passwords. During the setup the extender had a 50% connection rate to the 1st floor wifi. It constantly drops/breaks and requires manual restarts. Guests who are at the ends of the building get no connectivity whatsoever.
Requirements:
- Strong wifi signal throughout entire building
- Secure, prevent any malicious torrenting/illegal stuff if possible
My naive understanding so far is that I'd need to buy new routers/extenders and place them on the 2nd or 3rd floor. Hopefully if I can get away with 1 per floor by placing them in the middle or if I can place 2-3 on 2nd and have their range reach the 3rd floor that'd be great.
What kind of commercial router/extenders would I need? What is the best way to solve my use case?
