If you use usb to communicate with wireless hardware, then your first problem is usb - it is too slow! Some times it is too slow even for one connection. This is why we have usb wifi adapters with internal cpu, ram and firmware (micro operation system). If you wont to add more connections you will need more ram and may be more cpu power. This will need more power from usb, which is limited to 500mA. In this case, just take some AP, connect it over ethernet and you will get same result. > Thanks > > On Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 4:58 PM, Ben Greear wrote: >> On 11/20/2013 10:44 AM, Gustavo wrote: >>> Hi David, how you resolve this problem? >>> >>> What you do? >> >> You may end up having to re-write firmware, and perhaps significantly. >> >> That is not likely to be very easy.... >> >> Thanks, >> Ben >> >> >> >> -- >> Ben Greear >> Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com >> > > > -- Regards, Oleksij
