Hiya,

I work for a small firm (15-20 users all UK based) who is going to be moving office in the next month or so. We have no infrastructure at all in the new office (no network ports etc).

We dont have any servers coming into the new building with us either as we are a cloud based company, absolutely everything we need is hosted somewhere for us.

As such internet access is paramount to us and I need to design a wireless network which will be both resilient and as fast as I can possible get it.

We should be in a BT fiber area come March the 1st (if I trust anything BT say) so I would like to concentrate on how to get the most out of our fiber connection.

Currently we have 1 ADSL2+ with BT and another with Plusnet both will be upgraded to fiber once the exchange is upgraded.

My current thought is to have two wireless access points that load balance between the two incomming connections (if this is possible?) so I have resilence if one AP dies, or if one internet line dies.

I guess my question for you would be how should I implement this, what hardware should I be looking at? should I run cat6 or fiber to the access points? Is there a way of getting two ISP's into the building using different exchanges (we have had the exchange go down previously which took out both BT and Plusnet).

in a nutshell, i need hardware and cable to create a resilient and as fast as possible wireless network for 15-20 laptop users. Currently there isnt a budget, so I want to concentrate on the best possible, and probably be brought down a peg from the bosses!

any light you can shed would be awesome, thanks
