I would avoid repeating channels in such an open area. &nbsp;If you space your channels as wide apart as johnjces states thenwhen you get back to channel 1 just bump it up one to channel 2 etc.

I am in the planning stages of an 802.11g wireless network for my shop floor. &nbsp;The building is approximately 625 feet long &nbsp;by 120 feet wide. &nbsp;The ceiling is 50 ft or so high.<br />
<br />
My initial plan calls for a &nbsp;Motorola WS2000 with 4 AP300 installed on the ceiling down the center of the building (125 ft apart with clear line of sight) configured as a mesh network (due to distance).<br />
<br />
Is the 125 ft distance too far for the mesh networking? &nbsp;This network only feeds about 3 PC's and 5 roaming (PDA's) and possibly a couple wireless barcode printers.<br />
<br />
Or should I be considering an 802.11n (Motoral AP-7131) solution?

Mesh Networking with Motorola AP300

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.
