I have a School District Customer who has a similar setup to what you're talking about.
Public access is run over a separate VLAN with dedicated Linux-based DHCP and DNS and no access to the corporate network except thru the edge firewall (effectively putting the public wifi "outside" the firewall-- so VPN access, and access to DMZ-hosted servers works ...

Setting up a wireless network in a 4000 square foot space requires either an extremely knowledgeable installer, or having someone who owns some proper testing equipment. You will need to do a survey of the room, including finding out what sort of background noise there is, and if there are other networks on the same spectrum. You will then have to plan the ...

Make sure that the access points are configured to use different channels (Read the "Wireless- Advanced" section of the TP-Link Users Guide carefully and see "Wireless"->"Advanced" on ...

Let's see if my understanding is correct: You have four rooms (I'm picturing something like trailers at a job site), each with their own standalone networks, you want to connect each standalone network together and you cannot pull cable to any of these locations.
As a networking professional, I always advocate professionally installed cable runs as a means ...
