Cisco Wireless Setup for Small Business with 50 Users

Hi ,

I am currently managing the network infrastructure for a small Research company. The amount of people accessing the Internet during business hrs are between 30-40 active users, at peak times maybe as far as 50 users, probably more like maximum 60 users.

Kindly suggest the wireless router we should use.

 

Please suggest which method is best for Wireless to work for 50 users effectively without any issues at time.

 

Regards,

Jayant Kumar

Hello Jayant,

Are all these about 50 users in an open space, or in separate rooms?

If they are in an open space, you may take a look at the RV315W router - it should be able to handle them. Here is a datasheet where you can find more specifications.

If they are in separate rooms, depends on the wall, etc. but you may need to add a small access point to extend the wireless coverage.

I wouldn't expect any integrated wireless router to handle 50-60 simultaneous users without issue.  You should consider dedicated wireless access points.  Maybe two or more depending on the area you need to cover.  Have you looked at Cisco Meraki?  Very solid product with extensive features, excellent support and super easy to setup.
