Is the Ruckus 7982 appropriate for my use case?

Question

I have a single level, open floor plan, ~4000 square feet office space in a building with many neighboring wireless networks.   We currently use a Netgear R6250 but users are complaining of occasional disconnects.   I'm thinking of purchasing a Ruckus 7982 and placing in center of office, and still keep out legacy AP around with the same ssid, but different channel.     Is this a reasonable setup?

Thanks!

Ed

Depending on the environment, 50-100' is very reasonable for a 7982 AP coverage.  And best not to leave the legacy AP with the same SSID.

Hi Edward,

As this is more a pre-sales question I would suggest to contact the partner from which you going to buy the unit.

They can advise you units performance, and if needed might be able to do a site survey for you.

Kind Regards

Martin

So, a single 7982 AP is good enough, correct?     The very furthest a person's office to the AP would be about 50 feet - most users will be closer.

Thanks!
