I can not find enough info to explain the use of splitter , I have this scenario I hope someeone can advise .

I have a small building with one floor and a roof ,

Doing the site survey with different positiong of the AP , I can cover the floor but nothing on the roof , Can I use splitter with one antenna in the floor and another on the roof (20 meter away) , note that number of user in 4 for the floor and 1 for the roof .

Should not be a proble as long as you choose a good splitter and RF cable. LMR400 at least. The splitter will give you an insertion loss of 0.5 dB at 2500 MHz. Your antennas I am assuming are omni directional with at lest 3-5 dBi gain. As long as your cable runs are kept to a minimum it should be fine.

Also make sure you adjust your RTS thresholds as you will have hidden node problems since the clients on the roof can't see the clients under the roof.
