It is totally possible to build a good wifi setup if you know what
you're doing.

David Lang regularly builds a good setup out of commodity parts and
openwrt at SCALE, and talks to the basic issues here:

I wish we had more clued people working on wifi. And that conference
organizers/hotels/corps/institutions realized that having people that
knew what they were doing on the wifi was a valuable service for geeky
conferences, at least.

SCALE2015 went excellently, I'm told.

I have some measurements of the nanog network from the SF conference
this past month. pretty terrrible...
