We are moving our office to a new building and it will be about 5x larger than the one we currently have, so I drasticly need to increase the size of our wifi coverage. The office will be shaped like an "L", so that may influence your advice on this question:
Do I buy a wireless AP, and set it up too so everyone can have fairly good coverage, or do I buy a 7dBi antenna, OR do I buy a wifi AP and 2 7dBi antennas to get total coverage? We might be expanding again later, so I am thinking that I might eventually need both the antennas and the AP, but I am not sure how much access I will get off those 2 things, individually or together. If I do comine the two ideas, will I be lighting up an entire city block with wi-fi coverage, or should I be fine?
Router: DLINK DI-624 (with the ExtremeG)
AP I would buy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833127138
Antenna I would buy: http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=3&pid=416#
Thanks in advance guys! :D
