  17. the best type of setup for that sort of thing... on Best WAP For Dense Crowds? · · Score: 1

    the best solution is to set up a lot of APs with very very low power and low gain antennas all over the room, in bridge mode, all with the same frequency and SSID, all connected to the same lan, and sprinkle them all around the room.

    I've had very good results with Ubiquity picostation 2 attached to the chairs in a keynote style setup (one stage and plenty of chairs...

    as for how it works, easy...
    the "low power" part, takes care of there being a lot of people. laptop will connect to the closest ap (aka best received signal), so the lower the power the ap puts out, the less laptops it will attract (which will take care of the "I can't handle more than x people at a time part)
    as for the bridging, frequency & ssid setups, this will allow for complete transparent roaming around the covered area.

    ps: can I enquire what the event is ?
