My buddy bought and I'm setting up three R6300v2 routers at his nightclub to replace two OLD WiFi routers. He bought the R6300v2 so he could use the Facebook WiFi "check-in thingy".
I'm looking for advice to see if I should set them up as one Router (providing WiFi too) and two AP's, or should I setup each R6300v2 as its own router (so there are actually three networks).
As I see it the one router and two AP's make sense so all devices are on one network, but we're limited to about 200 clients(heck, I'm not sure the R6300v2 can handle 200 clients)
If I go with three networks, can they all have the same SSID? I don't think I should use the same SSID for the 2.4GHz and 5Ghz, but I'm hoping that I can have three that say "BAR-NAME-2.4GHZ" and three that say "BAR-NAME-5GHZ"
Will fast roaming work if I set up three networks? Should the DHCP ranges all be the same? I assume that the IP ranges should be different but I'm not sure.
Re: WiFi set up Recommendations with three R6300v2's
Thanks for the great answer!
Do you know what settings I should turn off to put the least amount of stress on the CPU and RAM of the "main" router? I'm assuming that making sure traffic monitoring is not on will help and turning off UPNP but I'm not sure and don't know what other settings tax the processor and RAM. I tried calling support but they were clueless.
