That, I don't know yet... but given that they want to build
a solid infrastructure that will be worth of using for the
years to come, most probably yes.

Environmental conditions will be normal, everything will be
indoor. And I *think* the power levels will be normal as well
(Wojciech mentioned that D-Links have been sensitive to power
spikes).

I have found that D-Link are quite cheap and somebody on the
list suggested them. In that price range TP-LINK is also a
choice. Anybody advises against TP-LINK?

Thanks a bunch for your answers, Nikos
