Hey Guys,

has anyone of you testet how many Clients one wAP or Groove 52HPn can handle?

I have to Cover an Event-Area with about 800m² and about 500-600 Visitors (possibile Clients) with Wireless LAN. My current Plan is to use 6 wAP at the Edges of this Area and 2 GrooveA-52HPn (in 5ghz Mode) in the Middle (first and last quarter).
All the APs would be managed through CAPSMAN (Traffic Forwarding to Capsman) and are Serving Free-Hotspot-Internet Access.

Do you think this Setup is enough for this amount of Users? Because my total Budget is limited there is not much space upwards, thats why i have chosen wAP as AP and not SXT.

Or do you think 4 or 5 SXTG-2HnD or Basebox2 with Omni-Antennas will do the Job either? This is my first bigger Mikrotik Wireless LAN Installation and i really don't know how much the APs can Handle.

Greetings
Sven

Grooves should be OK, it has enough CPU power and memory available.
Im using Groove as AP on one of our hotspots and it handles about 50 clients.
