My Fellow Engineers,
I would like to seek your expertise on how a wi-fi solution is setup in a Building.
What is the typical setup especially inside the equipment room?
ISP > Router > Switch > Controller > AP ?
Hoping for your kind response on this.

    How many end-users do you expect for the proposed network?

    Hi Jackie,
    You can try the below topology. Controller is connected to the core switch:
    ISP - Router - FW - Core Switch - Many Access Switches (e.g 1 per floor) - APs
    |​AP Controller​
    Just keep in mind that for WiFi deployments, it is advisable to do WiFi surveying to optimize your placements of the APs.
