At school, I have tried connecting 23 Chromebooks to one cAP ac https://mikrotik.com/product/cap_ac.
Those are broadcasting at two frequencies at 2,4 Ghz and 5 Ghz with two separate Wi-fi points.
Judging by specs, in theory, one cAP ac should be able to provide internet for 23 Chromebooks as it provides 300 Mbps via 2,4Ghz and 867 Mps via 5Ghz channel.
In reality, it can't. I had some PCs connect and show exclamation mark while others showing full signal, but nothing would open. I have tried to leverage between the two points.
There were times when all Chromebooks just dropped connection. It wasn't dependent on the websites, as I've tried opening both local and international. No student was video streaming or doing some heavy networking as I walked between the rows and checked both internet connection and what students were doing. By testing our overall speed on Speed Test I had 350 Mbps available for our school. Our overall speed from ISP is 800 Mbps. I assumed I reached max client.
The same happened with 20 pcs Windows 11 notebooks. Can someone share on what should be improved. I need every classroom to support anywhere from 20 to 30 student Chromebooks at the same time.
