Wireless Router for hospital

kpkini

Disciple
Budget : 2- 2.5 k
Coverage - Radius of 10 meters
The position of the server is indicated, could any one suggest the best location for ideal reception to all the rooms indicated in yellow.
Would the reception be adequate in all the rooms if the modem is placed inside the center room,
or would it be of more use if the modem is placed on the front wall of the center room from the outside ??

Suggestions regarding any other router in the same price range or slightly higher would be welcome

Thanks in advance
 
I'd suggest TP Link 8968. It has USB and EWAN which is future proof options.

Otherwise, if you think you don't need USB and EWAN, get 8961 and buy 8 dBi Antenna's (sold separately by TP Link) which will be enough for your range.
 
Thanks krishnandu ... but we need a wireless router not a modem + router

This is the layout of the Ground floor

How much throughput (Mbs) do you want at the client end and which applications will be using wifi ?
 
ASUS N13U, B1 revision. If you want a cheaper option, TP-Link 740N. If the range needed is more, then a pair of 740Ns, one in repeater mode.

The client end would be only for basic browsing like journals and email .. nothing else ...[DOUBLEPOST=1373096174][/DOUBLEPOST]

The asus router has only single antenna with 3dBi ... Tp - link router also has single antenna 5dBi .. wouldn this one provide better coverage ??http://www.flipkart.com/d-link-dir-...TMDBEMYMVRUYKNF?pid=RTRDBECHFKZTHEP8&start=10

How thick are the room walls in your diagram ? 11 inches or 6 inches or less.

If they are 11 inches, then the room on the extreme left will receive some signal through 2 walls, enough for browsing and email but the big room on the extreme right, looks like a rec area may not get enough signal as the signal has to traverse 3 walls. If the clients are laptops they will be more sensitive than lower powered clients like mobiles or tablets.

Are you able to borrow a router for range finding ? All you need to do is hook it up to the power and see what signal your clients recieve in each room. Does not have to be configured for net its more the signal level that matters. This will give us a better idea. You can use inssider on an android mobile to measure signal level.

Performance difference between the N13 & 605L is small, with the N13 doing better at further distances. Think of locations C,D & F in the graph as 1,2 & 3 eleven inch walls, roughly speaking.

You should take a look at the cloud features that 605L offers and see whether its more useful to you. Otherwise the N13 will be better but only slightly better and at further distance.
