Maximum # of wireless users on an RB493 with R52nM

Wed Aug 11, 2010 3:33 pm

Does anyone have a ballpark figure as to how many wireless users a RB493 with an R52nM ruinning 802.11B can support? This would be for general internet browsing on a relatively slow uplink of < 10mbps. No file shares or other p2p traffic between the clients themselves. It would also be running WDS between other RB493s.

30 should be normally possible, but if you don't have any expectations on speed, you can get more

Thanks. Is there any type of setting where I can hard code a limit on the number of devices that can register? I'll have several RB's with the same SSID, the hope is that I can max it at some number (let's say 30) and it will refuse connections and the client will attempt to register with a different RB.

under the advanced tab of the interface you can set max connections
