Solutions by Business Bed & Breakfast
Bed & Breakfast
A small bed & breakfast has two computers, a laser printer, and DSL Internet access. The two computers are part of a workgroup for sharing files and are connected by cable to the DSL gateway that came with the Internet service. The owners of the bed & breakfast would like to do the following:
- Deploy a small administrative wireless network so that they can set up a small front desk in an area of the bed & breakfast without cabling.
- Provide wireless Internet to their guests using their existing Internet connection.
- Implement off-site backups for their files.
