Hello!

The current Linksys, when connecting 20+ devices, is clearly not coping. The speed noticeably drops, ping grows (although, no one is actively downloading anything).

Does it make sense to count on Wi-Fi with this (or even 30+) number of devices? Or should I start running cable around the office? If yes, tell me which device is better to buy.

Thanks in advance :)

It may be worth putting several Wi-Fi points as repeaters and connecting them with wires.
A feature of Wi-Fi is that connections with the best signal level are prioritized, so whoever is closer eats up the bandwidth.

Perhaps it makes sense to take a router with Wi-Fi N support - two or three bands, not one, the speed is higher, the capacity, in theory, too.
The only point is that you need to change cards on computers that do not support Wi-Fi N.
