Hi all,
I have been tasked with upgrading the Wifi for a company that I work for. They own a motel and keep getting complaints that people can either not get good enough signal or when they do the connection is very slow or drops in and out. I wanted to start with the router, they have some old crappy Belkin. I was looking at either this:

or this:
http://www.amazon.com/Cisco-Linksys-WRVS4400N-Wireless-N-Gigabit-Security/dp/B000H97UC0
We have 60 rooms and about 300ft to cover. We currently have 2 antennas on each side of the property. I will be putting this access point in the middle for the middle rooms:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001IYCMNA
Unless someone can recommend something better. The ISP they are using is very slow so we will most likely be upgrading to a T1 line. Security is not an issue as we need to leave the network open. Can anyone tell me if the Apple or the Cisco will preform better under the conditions listed?
Thank you for any help.
