Hello,
My company recently setup a wireless network for a hotel. This wireless network contains 40 access points, and needs to be able to support 200 concurrent users connecting to the internet at one time. The router that we are currently using doesn't do the job well, and we need to replace it.
Basically, all the router does is provide DHCP addresses to the users, and PAT the internal addresses to the external interface, then over a DSL line to the Internet. We would like to replace the router with one of Cisco low-end routers, i.e. the 851 or 871, but I have concerns about whether the router could handle a lot of users.
So, what are your experience with the 851/871 and lots of users?
Thanks, KB
