Hello guys and thanks for your replies. I try to explain better the situation. The project is related to a resort in a country not well served with Internet, so at the moment maybe the best technology with a good price/quality ratio is the wimax. AS-IS We have a central room where arrives the signal with a wimax antenna. There are some points, about 20 in the resort, where arrive fiber cables. These point are used to reach different building/office with fiber/utp cables. These points are not connected all with the central room, but for example a point is connected directed with the central room and from these we reach other 5 points. So the wired network already cover in a good way the big area and is used for wired network in the offices and for security camera network. The logical network obviously are different. The problem of the current wifi network is that these access points are all connected by means of twisted pairs (telephone cables), moreover many of them are broken. Adding a slow badwidth and other bad things, the wifi network is awful. This is because it has been designed more or less 10-20 years ago and the maintenance is absent. TO-BE I want to design a new network, starting if possible from a test area, until covering the entire resort. Now I can say terrible things because I don't know the matter, so please ignore this in that case. 😄 My idea is to use the points served by means of fiber/utp cables for example to connect routers and create sub networks. Eccept these about 20 routers, I want to connect all the other devices without cables and if possible avoid them as mush as possible. I would develop each of these networking using technologies like mesh, antennas (closed to the routers), etc. Potentially could be 2000/4000 people that could connect by means of wifi (clients and employees), but it doesn't mean that everyone has to navigate with a high speed. This is because there is the limit about the starting bandwidth with wimax and I don't know until how many Mbps we can arrive. Except the connection speed, I would know how to design correctly the network to have a good wifi connection (stable and all around the resort), considering that there are limits that we can't overcome. I hope to have been more clear and sorry for not corrects things I should have said. Thanks
