each floor has 3 condo units. i would say no more than 6 users per floor.
i was thinking of using hte netgear poe wap. putting one on each floor.
they also need a router to manage these; the netgear business series should be fine?

do you know of any netgear business routers?
I recommend the Engenius EAP-3660.. They are Small, Powerful (600mW), and Stylish.. They look like Smoke Detectors... Pair those up with a Decent Router/Switch and you are good to go.. I recommend the Sonicwall NSA 240, or something similar with the ability to block inappropriate traffic..

The cut off is somewhere between 10 and 15 for the cheaper to the more expensive. Then again if more than 40 you will need to deploy more WAPs or put in even more specialised and expensive stuff.
