I have been trying to connect to the internet to update to windows 10 but it won't let me because it says that the network controller is under other devices and i want to receive help on how to connect. My laptop does have wifi capabilities.

Small business Wifi Network for 20-30 Devices?

I have been looking at this exact problem myself with the same range of numbers. I've found there are a wide range of choices and performance of the network very much depends on how much money you're willing to put into it.

Our wifi consisted of a single modem/router and the devices were only requesting internet access, the problem we were getting was either devices getting dropped off the network or just very little internet access at all when it was connected. From doing some studying I concluded that i could improve the performance by separating the roles, having a modem dealing with the connection to the outside world and DHCP and having a more powerful router handle the wireless devices (the router I was looking at was the model down from your suggested one, the Asus RT-N66U), you could probably go one further and add a low spec'd server box dealing with DHCP, DNS, etc. This was the cheapest option but left no real room for scaling up devices.

The other was as has been suggested, getting a wireless controller/gateway with multiple access points, obviously the cost scales higher but you also increase the overall capacity of the network with good performance, and usually with a good controller you can further add more access points to increase range/devices.

I think in this case it's very much you get what you pay for.

Hi powderpuffman,



Thanks for posting.



Please find below list of things that you may find useful;

1. Try connecting some other device to this WiFi

2. You have mention that others may connect to this WiFi, please check with Net Provider, as the network maybe restricted to the amount of devices using the connection at the same time.

3. Check the settings for the connections, any passwords?

4. Please follow the link below;
