maybe there is a small chance that he can get it for $100-$150 for a mile of just the cable... but installed!? Are they using slave labor?
Ah, missed the "including installation" part. Probably slave labour then - that will surely NOT include any measurements or testing.
I can just imagine what that installation would be like.... "Oops we accidentally pulled 10 meters of extra cable and winded it up in a loop here in the ceiling taking us over the distance threshold causing packet loss"..... actually nah.... they wouldn't know what any of that was, including crosstalk.
What clients are you using with 3-4 spatial streams?
It’s more of what clients I will use in 2-3 years time without having to rip everything up and start from scratch + the overall bandwidth available matters to me, especially when I run backups nightly :-).
believe me or not, here at Bangladesh such labour gets paid about 100$/month for 10-12hrs of work (including measurement and testing) . i know its sad but its the reality here
and local things are rather cheap here, for example to get teeth braces it costs about 500$-700$ without insurance. and 130 credit LAW degree from Top private institute costs about 11k-12k while at public institute you can get the same degree for about 1500-2000$ usd including 4yrs of food and hostel fee. without any loan or discount.
The EAP225 v2 can also use a power adapter.
Putting one AP in each of the four corners of a 100m square area is only 400 meters of cable (~0.25 miles), so not sure why we need 1 mile worth. Fair enough though, if the uni doesn't have a facilities or IT department on hand that does this work already then maybe use a few Ubiquiti AP-LR units for backhaul. The non-AC AP-LRs are like $25 used.
OP noted this install was for a fair, so not a permanent solution. That's why you can skimp and use refurb hardware for an installation that will get torn down relatively soon.
We only use unifi ac pro and this a very good devices.
On Big ebents Every AP have 200-300 clients. The best is, you can deploy all configs over the unifi Controller
Why would you hide a TP-Link router inside a potato? Are you trying to suggest that a potato field could one day become a bio-datacenter with extremely fast network?
Yes and no.

I don't think it comes with wifi but the onboard radio on a cheap sbc is often crap, so just add a nice usb wifi dongle and ... well, you pays your money and you takes your chances.
vive la pomme de terre!
EDIT2:
armbian, thx
Sure the square area is only 400 meters but we don't know how high these aps will be mounted or where the source of network is? Like I said before, what's stopping these $100/mo laborers (that have free cable mind you) from coiling up extra wire at each end.
In that case it is clear he will have a lot of interference everywhere, reducing the effectiveness of the AP's you suggested.
I think this is moot anyway, OP isn't going to listen and has already set his mind on a 'solution'.
well i already said unifi products worked. and i said 1 mile cable for better understanding of units.
