I will be moving to a condo complex later this year. At first I figured I would get a cable modem w/ built in WiFi and 4 port switch from Comcast. This would be a setup that I am familiar with since I have a similar Verizon Fios setup. Turns out I just found out that the complex will be outfitted with a massive blanket of WiFi antennas covering the 5,500+ units. Great, for a mere $1.70/mo(!) I get internet coverage. Now how do I set myself up using bridges and access points to use the existing WiFi offering to supply internet yet I would like to use WiFi to connect my laptops, desktop, and printers and VIOP that I have.
I guess my question is, would I buy an access point to provide the networking hub to connect my WiFi devices to each other and connect the Wan input to a WiFi-Ethernet bridge to channel the internet traffic?
Any thoughts?
