TPLink wifi limit?


[link to this post]
 
Hi, Looking for advice as google is failing me, I would like to use a TPLink W9970 v1 as an access point manually setup, Anyone know what is the max amount of simultaneous devices limitation for connecting to this wirelessly?
Im hoping it be near 30 simultaneously connected devices as it is going to be in the house for additional wifi coverage

TIA.

A lot will depend on what those 30 devices are doing, also as its only 802.11n standard this will limit how useful it is.

Personally as a stop gap it is likely to work, but would source a dual band more powerful device for longer term

Highly unlikely the most common chipset for these cheap Wifi routers (and even many mid range) is limited to just 20 active leases, never mind concurrent devices. Better bet get a proper AP e.g. EAP225 v2 that could easily handle 30 devices concurrently.
