I need to create a wireless network to support 100 people roughly with continuous use.
I will set out my understanding, and my lack of understanding so the replies on this thread are structured in a way to help me understand what I currently don't.
What I do understand regarding this network setup:
1. I've learned that routers have a hard limit of clients they can handle depending if they are consumer grade or enterprise etc, leading to me needing an enterprise grade router.
2. Because this is a wireless network over about 300m I am in need of multiple Access Points, enterprise-grade as well as they can handle 100 clients.
3. A modem is required with enterprise grade routers since they aren't modem routers.
What I do not understand and hope to be clarified for me:
1. Is an enterprise grade modem required as well for this setup?
2. How do I know which router from say, Ubiquiti to choose that can handle 100 people. There are many options.
3. if no router can handle 100 people, does that mean I need to 'combine' two routers to share the load?
4. If you have multiple access points, such as a
' https://store.ubnt.com/collections/wireless/products/un... ' connected to a router (wired/wireless) do they balance the load?
Finally, could someone suggest a network setup for me? My understanding leads to:
Modem > router > switch > 2x AP
Thanks! Please answer any questions you can, i am trying very hard to understand these concepts!
