Hello- Thank you in advance for your help.
I have a strange set of needs and I'm looking for some buying advice.
Setting up a wireless network with the following criteria:
- 25 clients will connect - Mostly older laptops with slow wireless cards (probably N)
- No internet access necessary, but I do need networking capabilities (thus, DHCP is needed)
- Great wireless range is important
- Need to travel with this router so antennas make things more complicated
- These machines are sharing very small txt files back in forth, but in real time so the files are small, but they're all torrenting the data so the network activity will go in bursts. But in general, load is low.
- Budget isn't that large. Somewhere in the $50 would be optimal. But, if I find an awesome solution, I'll pony up more. Legacy device is fine.
Any advice on a good wireless router that I can travel with, has great range, and can easily handle a 25 node sharing load? I would think N450 is the minimum, but maybe a strong range N300 is better?
Thanks!!
