I currently own a 8 unit townhouse building. I am looking to offer the residents wifi as part of their rent. My local provider suggested at least their 300/20 business class package (200$ month). I am interested in suggestions for hardware. The building is 130' long by 30' wide, each unit has a block wall separating them. I am hoping to get away with an access point in every other basement. So 3 or 4 access points. Id like something that can run off POe so I can stick the modem and POe switch in one unit and run cat5 to the access points. I looked at something like this. ZyXEL 3 Pack-[NWA1123ACv2 I would also like a POe switch that I can remotely power cycle if stuff acts up. Ill probably run some POe IPcams off it too, and from my experience they run best when rebooted every week or so. Thank you for any suggestions.

Thanks all for the replies. I believe I am going to proceed with this project. I understand the legal ramifications and went over these concerns with my ISP wowway.
I like the unifi system. here is the setup I am looking at
Ubiquiti Unifi Cloud Key
Ubiquiti Networks 8-Port UniFi Switch, Managed PoE+ Gigabit Switch with SFP, 150W
Ubiquiti Unifi Security Gateway (USG)
I would really like to put the access points in the basement of every other unit. I this access point but I believe i would have to get it up on the ceiling of the 3rd floor which will be very difficult
Ubiquiti Unifi Ap-AC Lite (UAPACLITEUS)
Could I use 2 or 3 of these with the cloud key, switch, and gateway and have them in the basements?
Ubiquiti UAP-AC-M-US
I would like to be able to set up a VLAN for each unit. I was reading through the manuals and was not sure if I could do this?
Thanks for any suggestions
