I'm going to be installing the network and WiFi for a small condo complex. There are 36 units with a capacity of about 70 people. Not everyone in the complex will be using this WiFi and some tenants will have their own internet, but I'd like to build a system that would be able to handle the 70 users.

We have access to a Shed located in the North End of the complex. This is where power and the internet connection will be brought to.

This complex is located in Tucson, Arizona and was in the 1960's and were recently converted. It's made out of brick and concrete.

I'm a little confused at which solution would be the best. I've been looking at the EOR-7550 and the EOC-2611P. My plan was to mount an antenna about 20 feet above the ground near the shed. I would like to house all the WiFi in the shed and not have to mount anything anywhere else as we don't have power drops elsewhere.

Will one or two EOC-2611P devices work? Or should I go with the EOR-7550? Will the internal antenna of the EOR-7550 work for these distances or do I need to look at using the EOR-7550 on both ends of the complex?

My next concern is the number of users for the WiFi. It lists these as "light" access point use. Is 50 to 75 users considered light in this case? I would imagine we wouldn't see more than 25 or so on the network at a time.

Thanks for all the help in advance!
