I need help designing a wireless network for an apartment complex. The complex is shaped like like an rectangle, fairly small, maybe 100 feet on the ends and 300 feet long on the sides. There are 130 people that we are assuming may have about 3 devices each that they will connect to the wireless network, potentially simultaneously, as this is in a college environment. We have plenty of bandwidth and down/up speed. We are running 30 megabit down and 10 up. I am planning on having a router with two access points centrally located in an apartment and extending the network out with antennas in each direction from the access points with Omni directional antennas. The Access points that I am planning on using are Cisco WAP200 with maybe a Linksys router, as the router should not have more than 10 connections on it. I need something that will not crash after 10-15 users connect to it because it jams up from overload.
Any help will be greatly appreciated and if more information is needed, just ask and I will give you whatever I can.

That's what they do!

How do I go about that? We've had a Cisco reseller come out and do a site survey, but they told us today that they don't work with our type of situation and that they support banks and small businesses rather than an apartment complex situation.

The reseller is looking for easy. You're not that easy. You need someone to provide the package.
