Hi guys,
Have been doing some work on a hotel refurb and they have asked me to look at installing some wifi repeaters to cover one floor of the bedrooms, any recommendations on products and what I'll have to do ie power requirements and cat 5 links etc ?

Cheers
Graeme
 
For the simple solution I would recomment Devolo powerline products and wifi repeaters... Not cheap but quick and easy to set up
 
I used these Devolo products to cure poor wifi in a large house.

But this could be costly if you have to install lots of them. Maybe look at power over ethernet (POE) wireless extender/access point then the unit is powered from the ethernet cable and you don't need a separate power supply. You will however need a POE switch to plug all the devices into.

The equipment you pick will depend on what speed and bandwidth the hotel requires at each access point and what speed the switch can handle and the speed of the incoming internet connection.

Here is a example of a unmanaged 8 port POE gigabit switch (TL-SG1008PE 124 watts total, 30 watts per port)-

This could be used with the below.

TRENDnet 300Mbps Wireless N PoE Access Point TEW-653AP (White): Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

You will need to configure the access points so will need a pc connected to the network.
