Subject: Cubieboard2 + hostapd + 100 wireless devices
Date: Sun, 07 May 2017 14:19:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1946348.9jam7OIK4C@franki> (raw)
Hello all,
I need to set up such a configuration:
Cubieboard2 with Debian Jessie, Hostapd 2.6 as an AP, usb wifi dongle + 100
devices with NodeMCU module:
http://www.electrodragon.com/product/esp-12f-esp8266-wifi-board/
I'm using usb wifi dongle based on Ralink RT5370 Wireless Adapter,
after I have switched hostapd network mode to "b" it works quite well (tested
with 70 devices). Only text commands are going to be send from server to
devices, so I don't need high speed, I need reliability.
Has someone any experience with such a setup ?
Would one recommend different wifi dongle (maybe more powerful), with different
chipset?
I have also tested:

But according to this info (and my experience)
http://geekofpassage.blogspot.com/2014/07/openwrt-ath9khtc-could-not-add-sta-to.html
There is hardware limit on the number of devices that can be connected to AP.
Any other hints?
This whole setup is supposed to be installed in a bus (double decker), single
server (AP) and wifi module for each seat.
Best Regards
Marek
