Planning MikroTik CAPsMAN for 200-300 clients - what to set?

Question

WiFi

Hey!
The task was to plan a wireless network for 200-300 people with a high density of consumers per sq m.
I want to try to implement it on Mikrotik, but I'm not sure that this can be implemented on a dozen cAP-2n, I have no experience.
In this regard, questions:
1) How many users in the "social network" mode can one cAP-2n carry?
2) How many users in the "social network" mode can one RB433GL carry?
your recommendations.
Thank you!

Answer 1

IMHO depending on how tightly planted. Once I was sitting in the open space of Nissan .... there were about 200 of us on an area with a basketball field and a half. The cAP-2n has built-in antennas, you can't play with directionality, you'll have to play with the signal strength. In general - everything is not easy and the speed is likely to be none.
as to whether the AP / router will drag - then a person will pull 30 for sure. There are tests on the Mikrotik website with 25 threads - there are quite decent speeds.

Answer 2

Technically yes, in practice it depends on the density of placement, partitions, clients. Mikrotik does not have advanced points for working in difficult conditions, which in particular include high density.
