Depends. How much iron is in the walls and ceilings? Are there any significant |

bodies of water in between? Plants as well as people also are bodies of |

water. ;-) In the end, you will have to try it out. Install the base station |

As for speed, think of a wireless network as a hubbed rather than a switched |
| 11 |
one - collisions will limit usage to about 1/3 of the available bandwidth. If |
| 12 |
you try to use more it will become very slow. So Internet access won't be |
| 13 |
much of a problem (your bottleneck will be somewhere upstream anyway). |

Inhouse traffic like file sharing and such might be might be much slower than |
| 15 |
you expected. |
