I was perusing Google looking for some information on setting up an RV Park Wifi system..
I came across a TPU thread from 2011 that was helpful but, rather than resurrect an old thread, I thought it best to start a new one..
So, here I am..
My situation...
A year or so ago, I set up a very basic WiFi system for an RV Park
http://sjfm.us/temp/RVwifi1.jpg
The small green dot at the lower right is a simple Linksys WRT54G Wireless router (DD-WRT) with an 11dbi antenna attached. It feeds the "pull thru" areas just fine (at the bottom of the pic), but is spotty beyond that... Setting this up was within my level of expertise..
The Park management wanted to expand the WiFi Access to include long-term residents in the two streets north of the pull thru area...

I added 2 more Linksys WRT54G Wireless routers (DD-WRT), hardwired (Cat5E) them directly into the Cable Modem/Router in the RV Park Office that has a 50mbit connection...
This was (barely) within my level of expertise..
As of late, the RV Park has been receiving complaints about spotty connections, slow speeds and no connections viewable.
Personally, I think it's a lot of DSAK and I.D.TEN-T problems as I go out there with my laptop and have no problems with access. But management now wants to sink some $$$ (Probably around 2K) into upgrading the system..
And here I am now...
I am a little out of my pay grade, so I was hoping to get some expert/guru advice..
I read on the afore mentioned thread about this:

And was wondering if that might be all I need..
Any hints, tips, advice, or "yer outta yer mind!!s" would be appreciate...
