Max number of connected stations #111

Open jbman35 opened 6 years ago

Hello,

While performing some testings with this driver, I observed that the maximum number of clients that can connect to the module acting as access point seems to be limited to 30. Do you have any idea if that limitation can be modified into the driver? I have done some investigations but without success.

Thanks in advance for your feedbacks!

@jbman35,

NUM_STA is defined as MACID_NUM_SW_LIMIT which is 32.

https://github.com/diederikdehaas/rtl8812AU/blob/HEAD/include/sta_info.h#L25

Can you try changing it to 64, 92, 128, etc. and see if it supports the connections?

By the way, how are you testing the access point station limits?

@lucasrangit Thanks for your answer. I found out this MACID_NUM_SW_LIMIT last week and I have already done the tests by increasing that value to 64. Indeed I was able to connect more clients to the AP. However as soon as I started to generate some traffic from the clients, the AP became really unstable. I test the AP with a dedicated test bench made of several WiFi dongles.
