Providing free wireless in apartment building

I want to provide free wireless internet access in my apartment building.

It has three floors of apartments, six apartments on each floor. I assume
that two access points per floor should do the trick. But I'm curious about
the proper hardware for this.

Since this is a public accommodation, I'll need client isolation and maybe some
kind of authentication if the signal goes outside the building.

One setup I've found is the D-Link combination of DWL-8220 Wireless
Switch Dualband Access Points managed by the DWS-1008 wireless
LAN switch. This provides a command-line interface for configuration,
which I can handle. But I'd prefer something web-based just for ease of
use.

Does anyone have any experience to share about any of this, or other
suggestions?

Thanks.

Walt,

This is something that really ought to be done with a commerical-grade
setup.

I'd recommend the Colubris 5100 with MAP-330's.

Give me a call, and I'll be happy to discuss exact details of the
product's features, functionality, and configuration.

Thanks
Chris
