Wireless Access Point Max users

[snobee]

I am looking for a Wireless Access Point that can take up to 30 consecutive users?

Any WAP can take 30 consecutive users. You probably mean concurrent users. Mikrotik makes great inexpensive routers. I'll recommend them.

All depends what they are going to be doing on the wireless. Just normal browsing or copying data etc?

I would recommend an Ubiquiti AP from Scoop. e.g http://www.scoopdistribution.co.za/product_info.php?cPath=101_75&products_id=1326

Anything can do it,but you may experience speed degradation if everybody tries to nail the network at once

Thanks guys for the quick response. Yes, I believe that is the correct term then, concurrent would be what I am looking for. It is for indoor use. I didn't know Mikrotik did indoor, as I have always known them to only be outdoor. But that is ignorance not factual So I will certainly explore that route as well, thanks for that.

Interesting, I usually get TP-Link 901's for my network (currently use about 20 of those), but we have about 30 people coming in a few weeks, and all use the web concurrently in the same conference room. So it is browsing mainly. The problem is last year when they were here, using a TP-Link the speed was terrible for all the users connecting to that same AP. I only figured out the problem after a few days, and the documentation said there was a max of 16 users.

Thanks for that info about the Ubiquiti AP. I will check it out. Interestingly this is the second time that particular one has been recommended.

I would recommend either Mikrotik or Ubiquity, however you will have to make sure your clients all use the same vendor. Mikrotik and Ubiquity have both implemented non-standard TDMA access protocols (NV2 and AirMax respectively) that help immensely with multiple users using one AP.

Personally I prefer Mikrotik, but for your scenario Ubiquity may be a better option, as they make great indoor access points and USB dongles.

If you MUST use standard protocals, any off the shelf Wifi AP will work. Try to get something that supports 300mbps 802.11n.

Ubiquiti UniFi.

Short and sweet and simple.
