The AP would not like 43 station-wds clients. However, that is not needed. Let me explain a bit. To run wds, you need to set up the AP for WDS. Then, you set ONLY those clients that need WDS as station-wds. Other clients can be running as "normal" clients (station mode if you are running MT clients). In this scenario, the AP will not have a problem. FWIW, you can run pseudobridge clients (trango, MT and others) on the same network that you run station-wds clients on. -- ******************************************************************** *Butch Evans *Professional Network Consultation * *Network Engineering *MikroTik RouterOS * *573-276-2879 *ImageStream * *http://www.butchevans.com/ *StarOS and MORE * *Mikrotik Certified Consultant *Wired or Wireless Networks * ********************************************************************
