With almost any manufacturer you can set a max number of clients per radio. You could set the max per radio to 25ish and put (capacity of classroom/25) APs per classroom.

Hello,

we have four adjacent classrooms (two in front of two and 5 meters between each one) with capacity to 80-100 students each one. Each classroom has its own Cisco Aironet 1240 AG Access Point.

When all the students inside the classroom connect their computers to the wireless network, response time behaves very slowly for several minutes, until the traffic network stabilizes and reaches a better performance. We have tested other AP including Ruckus (802.11 b/g/n) and the problem remains.

We could install two AP by classroom, but we would need to distribute the connections between each one. Does someone know a solution without having to use different SSIDs to distribute traffic among multiple access points? Does someone have any suggestion to solve this issue, including other access point manufacturer?

Any comment is welcome.

Thanks,
