What is the best Wireless router for a small office?
Recently we need to upgrade our existing (Wired) connection to Wifi. We have a small office space, which is two stories building and the main office is on the ground floor. Can anyone help me to find out which is the best router for us? WHY? and your experience with that router. Thanks!
N.B Higher speed, 802.11 n/g routers will be prefer.
There is no definitive answer for the "best" router, but my recommendation would be to not use a router (from your description I get the impression the rest of the network is working well and you just want to add wireless capabilities). My recommendation would be to add a wireless access point (like the Linksys WAP54G (link below for reference). This would enable you to plug in the wireless adapter to your existing network thus enabling wireless devices to communicate without having to completely restructure your existing network.
You also mentioned that it was a 2 story building, if you were to go with the Linksys product I mentioned you could get a 2nd WAP54G, plug it into a connection upstairs (or even use it as the bridge to the downstairs connection to make the upstairs connected if you don't have physical cabling in place) and spread your network further. I realize that statement wasn't completely clear, and if you would like me to explain it in more detail you can let me know on my website (listed below). I don't want to fill this response up with a bunch of data you may not require.
I attempted to reply to your request through my site, but the email was returned so I am going to put the info here, hopefully you see that I've made an adjustment to my response.
You have a couple options, if you are the only tenants in the building you can use a powerline ethernet adapter. This would be a bit more expensive as you would need to put one of these adapters in each area you would want to make wired. The benefit would be security as people wouldn't be able to get onto your wireless network. You can see an example of these devices at this link: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/products/PLS300 please note that I don't have any direct hands-on experience with these devices, but have heard that they work quite well.
If you wanted to go with the wireless solution I still suggest getting a Linksys WAP54G and plugging it into your network downstairs. You might need to do some experimenting with the best location of it to get a strong signal to the proper locations upstairs as going through floors can sometimes be a bit tougher due to the methods of construction being so much more higher (thus denser materials) than for walls. But you should be able to get an adequate signal by placing the device in the most central location to where you would like to use it upstairs.
Should that signal not be strong enough there is the option of getting a second Linksys device (and I'd need to do a bit more research but I believe the WAP54G would do it so you would need to purchase 2 of them) or you could purchase what is known as a wireless range expander like this one: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/products/WRE54G. The idea here is that you would plug in the wireless access point (WAP54G) downstairs, then place the Wireless G Range Expander upstairs where it gets at least a little of the signal from the WAP downstairs. It then bounces that signal out stronger so you will get much better coverage upstairs. The nice part here would be that you could install the WAP54G first, and if you are not getting a solid signal you could add the expander later.
One thing I HIGHLY recommend is to make sure you have security enabled on your wireless network. Especially if it is tied into systems used in an office where people might be able to get onto your network and cause some serious problems when they get sensitive data from your systems. Good luck with your project, feel free to contact me back if you would like more information.
Hope that helps answer your question.
