So how is this for a specific answer...it depends... :-). Your questions begs a bit more information, most notably, what are your networking needs for this office both now and in the next 5 years? Wireless may be just fine for your needs but things like either bandwidth heavy applications, applications that need a predictable quality of service...like voice or video...these can all make a big difference. The other thing to consider is how you will innerconnect your networking peripherals like printers. These devices will probably not natively support wireless and would require a compatible piece of hardware...not expensive but may not be trivial.
My best advice is that you should engage a Cisco partner with wireless expertise. A site survey will be critical to this decision, especially since I don't know what the composition of the construction is...that same partner can provide you with much better advice on your specific situation given a good physicaly review of the facility. Let me know if you need assistance finding a partner.

  • Developing solutions for small and medium enterprises (FREE)?

    I heard that Oracle Express DATABASE is free. Is it absolutely true?
    Also I heard that if you use developer (forms, reports builder) and you leave the FMX / REP files in your customer it is also for free (no license cost).
    How true is it?
    Oh, the real question is...
    what would you suggest?
    Developing small solutions in web (with VISUAL STUDIO <dot net>) connecting with ORACLE EXPRESS?
    or Still use developer 6.1 (remember for small and medium enterprises).
    I suggest your comments.
    gracias

    That is only half true, and the part about Oracle Express only applies as long as the database remains less than 1 GB in size.
    I have not heard any indication that Developer 6i/9i/10g content can be developed and used without a license. Oracle Applications Express (HTMLDB replacement) is a cool Free tool that interacts well with Oracle Express.

  • CS6 for "Home use" or "small and medium business"?

    Hello,
      I'm interested in purchasing Photoshop CS6. I'm self-employed and I need an installation only for one machine, but for commercial use. Do I need to buy Photoshop for "small and medium business" or will "Home use" be sufficient license-wise?
    Thanks,
    Alicja

    There are no such options.
    There's a standard commercial license or an Educational license.
    Your only decision is whether to buy Photoshop CS6 Standard or Photshop CS6 Extended (3D and few other features).
    You will be fine with a commercial version of Photoshop CS6 Standard.
    All licenses allow you to install and activate the software on up to 2 computers.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • I have an IMAC and purchased OS X Lion to upgrade from the APP store, and launched the software for downloading, and I have been waiting on this for an hour, and it still says it's downloading? What do I do next?

    I have an IMAC and purchased OS X Lion to upgrade from the APP store, and launched the software for downloading, and I have been waiting on this for an hour, and it still says it's downloading? What do I do next?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The OS X Lion installer takes more than 4 GB of space, so it is normal for most Internet connections to take the download more than an hour.
    If you want to see the download progress, open the Mac App Store and go to Purchases.
    Before upgrading, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

    Hi barryfromwarrington,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  There are two things I can think of to keep your Stepdad's information separate from yours on the computer and the iPad.   On the computer, he should have his own administrative account, and on the iPad he needs his own Apple ID for iTunes and iCloud services.  Here is some basic information to get started.  I don't know if you have a Mac or Windows computer, so I'll include info for both.)

    OS X Yosemite: Set up users on your Mac
    If your Mac has multiple users, you should set up an account for each person so he or she can personalize settings and options without affecting other users. 
    Add a user
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
    Click the lock icon  to unlock it, then enter an administrator name and password. 
    Click Add  below the list of users. 
    Click the New Account pop-up menu, then choose a type of user.
    administrator: An administrator can add and manage other users, install apps, and change settings. 
    Enter a full name for the new user. An account name is generated automatically. To use a different account name, enter it now—you can’t change it later. 
    Enter a password for the user, then enter it again to verify. Using a password hint is recommended to help the user remember his or her password. 
    Click Create User.
    For an administrator, select “Allow user to administer this computer.”

  • Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked.

    Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.

    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

    update : so after reading numerous posts, I tried unchecking entire playlist and just tried one of my playlists. That sync seemed to work, so I rechecked entire playlist and did the sync. It worked. Then I went in to my "walk to work" playlist and added some songs to see if it would sync now, and it did!!! so happy now. will see what happens tomorrow.
