TP-Link TL-WR2543ND maximum connections

[Speedster]

Is there a limit on the number of simultaneous WiFi connections the TP-Link TL-WR2543ND can handle? For some reason certain devices at our office keep getting booted off the network and I can't figure out why. Someone suggested it might be that the router is "full". Is this possible? We have about 7 WiFi devices around the office at the moment.

Hi There,
I did a bit of reading for you and sadly possibly the first article was a review that if you had read it you would not be purchasing this device. Certainly not in an office environment. You can read more here
I could not find any figures in terms of wireless devices that it will allow to be attached. However you may find better stability using the 5GHz bandwidth rather than the 2.4GHz so try that and see. It may mean that some mobile devices will not be able to connect.

Regards

Tim

Thanks! I started off trying the 5GHz band but too many of the devices couldn't connect and the signal strength dropped off quite rapidly as one moved away from the router.

EDIT: I read the article from the link above but that doesn't shed too much light on my issue. My office is the furthest one from the router and my signal never drops. It's some of the other devices, much closer to the router, that can't connect. It's not that they drop connection, they simply won't connect to start with.
