How many users can be connected to the GlobeSurfer®?
12/03/2009
Using a class C Wireless network (e.g. 192.168.1.0/254) you should be able to connect up to 253 users to the GlobeSurfer® III (you cannot use 3 reserved address of the whole WlAN) but this can be affected by the type of authentication you use on the device.
For example, if you use no authentication or WEP authentication you should be able to achieve a maximum amount of users (For a class C it will be 253 users), but if you change the authentication to WPA or WPA2 the number of connected users is affected in a high degree.
So the theoretical amount of users is 253 but we advise you not to connect more than 30 users to the GlobeSurfer® III as bandwith will be shared amongst the connected users.
