How to connect up to 100 people to the router at the same time and quickly transfer data?

Question

Nginx

Good afternoon!
We distribute audio guides in museums. The visitor connects via free wi-fi and downloads all the necessary guide content (about 200-300mb of pictures and audio files) using the installed mobile application.
If the number of visitors is small, we install a flashed router www.tp-linkru.com/products/details/?model=TL-WR2543ND with a flash drive inserted. On the NGINX flash drive for requests and all media content.
But the device has obvious restrictions on the number of simultaneous connections and on the channel bandwidth. It is necessary to provide up to 100 connections and the maximum possible speed for each device.
The question is, if you put a nettop (for example www.ulmart.ru/goods/618874) with a raised local server and connect the ubnt.su/MikroTik/RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN.htm router to it, will this solve the problem?
Maybe you can recommend something else?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I'm afraid that no device will give you a normal speed, with simultaneous downloads from hundreds of clients.
It's not even about the power of the piece of iron itself, but about the limitedness of the radio channel.
Perhaps it's worth playing around with pieces of iron that have more than one radio module, and try to configure them like this:
- set the same SSID to all modules;
- choose different channels for them, away from each other;
- set up a limit on the number of clients per module. Here, perhaps, only empirically you can pick up the value.
Whether there are pieces of iron in nature on which all of the above is realizable - I don’t know, because I had little business with routers more serious than a “home access point”.
On two pieces of iron, such a feint definitely works. Now we use UniFi at work, where, together with the above, pseudo-roaming is implemented at two points. Well, you still need to raise the http-server somewhere.

Answer 2

Set up several access points, the radio channel is divided evenly among clients, so there will be no speed at one point.
