    Are there any?

    There are a bunch of pools, water slides and a lazy river around the park.  Its an open space... Someone told me that the pools could act as a reflectors for the signals and that could cause trouble but i never heard of it... but well i still ask.

     

    Anyways are there any considerations with this?

     

    Cheers

    802.11n makes use of signals arriving from different paths so this shouldn't a problem. I doubt that even with 802.11b/g this would have been a noticeable issue.

    Water is a consideration when shooting RF over large bodies of water in PtP or PtMP situations. For a waterpark, just consider any slides/tunnels with water as evelator shafts and stairwells, in that RF will not go through them very well, but otherwise, the whole thing should be open space and designed as such.
