WL1807MOD: Access point for at least 50 clients

Part Number: WL1807MOD
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1837

Tool/software:

Currently I am testing WL1807 wifi module. I need to create access point using beagleplay (linux) and sdio interface for smart home purposes.

Is there any chance to make access point that has at least 50 clients? Or do you know any alternatives?


As far I know based on my tests and below link, there is no chance to do it using WL1807 or WL1837

    Hello Michal,

    The maximum number of WiFi clients that WL18xxMOD supports is 10. The device can not support up to 50. 

    If you are designing the smart home, then do you have to use the AP mode from WL18xx? Why not use a dedicated Access Point or router or even multiple APs that would be able to support more clients? Then you can use WL18xx in client mode and then connect to the same WiFi network.

    Also, the BeaglePlay supports thread and sub-ghz through the CC1354 device. Have you looked into the Thread or SubGHz protocol to build a mesh network?

    Hello Sabeeh,

    Generaly BeaglePlay works as border router works in OpenThread network using nrf nordic antena. However we have also devices, that uses only wifi interface and there could be need to connect them using BeaglePlay - we would like to avoid using another devices. I am not telling about single home or apartament but big buildings. So we would like to cover such case.
