We have a work environment with a BT Broadband line and a BT Business Hub installed. The problem is that we have multiple iPhone and iPad users (~40) trying to access the internet connection over the WiFi link, and the router can't sustain the connections. Most users now connect but can't get any bandwidth, some can't connect at all.

I'm thinking of setting the Business Hub to modem only, and buying an Access Point that can restrict the bandwith down, so that even at a much slower rate, at least all the clients can get some sort of service?

Does anyone have any advice on which AP to get, and what configuration to use?

Thanks Rob

At first I thought this was a question for Server Fault as it's for a work network. However, it's really a shopping recommendation which are off-topic network wide. – ChrisF Jan 16 at 10:21
As ChrisF said, shopping reccomendations are off-topic for the whole StackExchange network. However, if you've got this many users, I'd think about a more professional wireless solution rather than buying one access point. – tombull89 Jan 16 at 10:35
thanks for replies, sorry I should re-phrase and say could one 'professional' AP support this many users with appropriate bandwith restrictions? usage should only be corporate email, but obviously iPhone users data will stray outside of this a bit. – spac3race Jan 16 at 10:41
