LockedHello, I am thinking about changing equipment at one site where we are using multiple Wireless access points. Using the onboard routers of the wireless routers has proven to be problematic. So I want to use the wireless routers as AP only. Seems that the high volume of traffic is taking the built-in routers down. There may be as many as 50 users on a system. More likely 20 to 30 at a time. I think streaming and just the fact that so many people are using we enabled phone, ipods and a host of other devices is proving to be a bit much. This is a public site and we have five access points. One of which is purely office function. I was looking at adding a RV042 as the router for one possible two access points. We do have five static IP’s to work with. Four for the public use. I like the idea of load balancing. I was also looking at RVS4000. Not sure which one of these units would better handle the High Volume use. Restarts with existing equipment are a problem. I did purchase an ASA 5505 last year. Just purchased a book to learn this unit…………Thought that it might be better used in the office environment. If I could route all the static IP’s through the ASA without Giving up security for the office and allow each Static IP through this on its on pool…that might be another option. This site has limited funds so a stack of larger routers or Appliances at this time is not an option. Need your advice.
