Diseño e implementación de una Red Mesh inalámbrica para un complejo residencial privado

Abstract

This degree project focuses on designing and implementing a Wi-Fi Mesh network for a private residential complex. The current network design is deficient as it fails to meet the users' demands. Initially planned for 1,200 square meters, the network topology no longer satisfies the requirements after the complex expanded to double the size, covering 2,100 square meters. Through a technical site inspection, a mesh network design was modeled using a central controller and access points (APs). These APs establish a connection with the controller and are managed through it to provide complete coverage across the private residential complex. Wi-Fi coverage simulation tools were used to analyze the APs' coverage and identify areas with weak or no signal. This analysis aimed to mitigate these issues and ensure a satisfying browsing experience for users. Connectivity tests conducted after the implementation demonstrated that the Wi-Fi Mesh network design achieved efficient browsing speeds of over 100 Mbps under normal conditions and approximately 25 Mbps under unfavorable conditions. This allows users to perform high-bandwidth activities without experiencing service interruptions or interfering with tasks being carried out by other users .
