The connection is Unifi VIP20.
Every now and then I get reports from a few people about wifi dropouts....

The max number of clients that I've seen at one time is 40.

The setup:
Gateway: WR841ND (DHCP enabled) <-----wired -----> WA901ND (AP)
                   |
                   |-----wired--------> 1043ND (AP)

So yeah those clients are not served solely by the WR841ND.

These devices have detachable antennas, and I've replaced all of them with TP LINK's 8dBi antennas.

Bandwidth control and access control is turned on, but these f**k*rs still PPS because it can use port 80.

If you ask me why I didn't use the better 1043ND as the gateway, well back then the router was not unifi capable.

u can try setup like this ....

Gateway:1043ND (AP) ---> WA901ND (WDS1) ---> WR841ND (WDS2)

WDS unit put at dead spots places.

Bandwidth set to 1-2MB perperson.

Thank you. biggrin.gif

As it is all routers/ap are connected to each other with ethernet cables (as per my diagram lol). Why would I use WDS and make it more unstable? (wired vs wireless, plus WDS will halve the bandwidth)
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Gonna use the 1043ND as the gateway and add more APs  icon_rolleyes.gif

i think ur problem is signal not stable, then drops.

wds is for signal more stable, wired vs wireless is no different if the signal is strong.

i think add more APs is no different, but u can try.

Thank you. biggrin.gif
