Re: How many client can be attached to RB500 with 4 minipci?
Ah...I understand.
One of the problems is the use of words in one context while meaning something different. The Mikrotik quote demonstrates this. They say that 2007 can be "connected". What does THAT mean? They then go on to say that that they have clients (WISPs, I presume) that have "installed" around 100 to a Base Station. What does THAT mean?
I will let you sort that out by yourself. It is a good exercise in understanding WISPing.
What is really important is this: how many concurrent users can be supported simultaneously by the device? And, of course, the answer is....that depends.

Re: How many client can be atached to RB500 with 4 minipci?
Thank u John Galt,
MIkrotik Said here
"3-How many wireless clients/routers can be connected to one Base Station?
Up to 2007 wireless clients/routers. However, the system performance depends on the usage, i.e., number of computers using it. It all depends on the actual usage, how many computers are connected behind client routers and how much data is sent over. We have clients who have successfully installed around 100 clients to one Base Station. You can easily run an AP with even more sites connected, if you bandwidth shape them to ensure they get the required slice of bandwidth." but it is not clear!
I mean some device like "pocket pc" by "wifi support devices"? in other word I mean just mikrotik with its minipci can connect to AP or every 802.11(a or b or g) can be used?
thanks for you rep. |

What do you mean by "wifi support devices"...?
As to the other part of your question, it might be better to use the RB532 as a router and have separate APs for each channel since the processing power of the RB532 must be shared between all of the radios.
On a heavily loaded system the CPU might not be able to keep up with the demands placed upon it. In many respects it depends what kind of traffic your subs are passing...some types place less demands on the system than others.
Just something to consider...

Westfield, NY | I like to use RB532+RB564 with 4 minipci for a WISP. But I am not sure how many client this platform can support? And if it is possible to use wifi support devices with this?
