I wonder if snapraid would work for this. Especially if your data is mostly written once and then just read, it could be an easy way to add redundancy while keeping isolated individual drives.
I have an AP in pretty much every room on 5 GHz with low transmit power. I like it a lot - good speeds, not a lot of interference from the other APs, and clients mostly roam nicely as only the nearest AP is strong enough.
> You can get a 1.5gigabit/sec connection between your laptop and the router, with very very low latency and super reliability.
Would you mind sharing what equipment you use?
While I now have wired connectivity to my access points, I have friends who don't have that option and would greatly benefit from better wifi. I would love to help them.
