about $350 with no OS ($150 profit)
So what your worried about is your profit margin ;) on the hardware..

Your reselling them - so I would look to becoming partner with netgate.. I have to think that there is some markup that is shared for reselling product.. Prices on the store have to be end user price, not reseller price.. I would look into that option maybe..

Can you suggest where to put 4 of the APs, I can get two more without issue.
Thanks

@manwdaplan Do you have VoIP trunks to the outside? Outside "cloud" PBX? Anything like that?
Kind of hard to believe they are skimping so hard on a site deployment of this scale. Do they not care if it works or not?

4 does not look like enough. Even with 8, the fringes like the men's bathroom are underserved.

No they don't have any true phones, they have a app that runs on there workstations everything is run from the cloud, the workstations have bluetooth and they use headsets to the computers.

So i am using the Unfi LR APs, so they should get me a little bit more distance (website says 200 more sq then the standard enterprise ones), I dont need the cover the break room in the back (upperleft) or the restrooms.

So they only have 60 users right now, and I worked them into hard wiring the whole place, so this really worked the budget (they where planning to just go pure wifi), so the idea is to put in as much as the budget can handle at this point and then add more to the system as needed (when the budget refreshes). As with alot of my customers I provide as much as the money can handle. I know its not perfect or even the best.

What would they be doing in the bathroom with the Wi-Fi

Until the general manager bitches that he can't check his email on the can. Or watch cat videos. Or whatever.

Can't see you getting coverage without 5 access-points.

Not covering the break room with solid guest wifi is just, well, so uptight.
8 APs looks a lot better. Stuff will sing.
