Hi everyone, ok here goes...
So the company i work for is moving offices to a slightly smaller office. The bosses want it to be COMPLETELY wifi, yet at the same time they will be switching their phone systems to a Nextiva virtual PBX phone system. I've already figured out how to make each of the phones wireless, and have no problem with the client computers/server etc. The thing i'm really stuck on is what wireless router to buy? I think anything under 1000 dollars would be acceptable to them but if its close to that please say it anyways.
Projected setup
22 Cisco SPA303g Phones made wireless via Cisco WBP54g
20 Wireless computers ranging in connection from N/G/B (laptops/desktops etc)
The new office has very thin walls and is about 1500square feet in a rough square (very few walls). The server room is in the back middle of it, so i dont think range or coverage from one router will be a concern at all.
What i'm worried about is since we are going to a completely wifi setup, including with the phones that many devices, plus prolly another 20 smart phones, that any standard wireless router wont be able to handle the connections properly, the most important being of course the phone system bandwidth.
This is a little above my realm of hardware knowledge with enterprise equipment, so i would really value any suggestions on router hardware or things to watch out for in doing this move.
Thanks in advance
