Maximum number of clients (STA) that attach to AP? #27

Open mkirk-github opened 3 years ago

mkirk-github commented 3 years ago

Do you have any benchmark as to how many clients (STA) can attach to Pi 4B (Buster Raspbian OS) with this method?

Our approach (not this method uses hostapd and wpa_supplicant) shows that only 4 or 5 max before it slows or drops connections.

Some have suggested the CYW43455 on-chip RAM (not DDR) is the limiting factor.

Thanks for posting.
