local restaurant wants to offer free WIFI to their customers. i've done work for them before, but because certain issues and thick adobe walls, i would like some advice how to approach the WIFI setup.
it's about 8000 sq ft. (rough outline of the space attached) on the top in small office are their computers and comcast modem + switch and WIFI router.
what i want:
1) do bridge connection to existing switch, but separate the network so guests do not have access to the shared computers
2) distribute the signal over the 8000 sq feet. there are thick 4ft wide adobe walls. (more of them and more comlex then the outline)
3) originally intended to distribute internet over power outlets, but the property is old and they have 7 different power circuits as it expanded over the time. it's a mess. that won't work.
in the middle is large open patio surrounded by seating space with thick walls.
how would you approach this ? chain of WIFI expanders ? run cables to key locations and have routers there ?
