    Many routers, what am I missing?

    I certainly understand that issue. The directional antennas that will be used have about a 20 dB front to back ratio which in some circumstances could be a problem. In this case however, the total beam spread is about 220 degrees so the back signal is mostly pointing across the street and not a...

    In the interests of providing some interesting (rough) data, the RV park is currently served by a professionally installed omni-directional antenna on the roof of the main building at one edge of park outputting signals on Channels 3, 9, 40 and 153. (there is no typo in those numbers) along with...

    Thanks, I was wondering about that, but I found this link https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/525/ and this switch TP-Link TL-SL5428E which appears to fix that issue.

    The Asus RT-AC32oo has a setting in AP mode labeled "Set AP isolated" . Searching on that name says that it will do exactly what I need. THANKS!

    Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions. You do so without payment and I appreciate that. I do think, and this comment is not limited to this forum or this question, that statements rejecting ideas without stating why the idea is faulty are not productive. Most of the comments in this...

    It was late at night, perhaps I should be more specific. There are not, nor will there be 100 Routers. There will be no more than 9, set up as AP's, each feeding its own 40 degree directional antenna, each covering a specific area of the campground with no more than 20 campsites, each with a set...

    In an enterprise solution you generally have lots of users and lots of printers and common storage that all need to talk to each other. These RV users must not be able to talk to each other any more than houses in a community can talk to each other. It's not really a "network" in any...

    As a former radio station Chief Engineer, I would certainly not fire up a 50 kW transmitter without a load. At 1 W I'm much less concerned, but Ebay has RP-SMT 50 Ohm dummy loads for about $1 a piece so i'll probably add them just so someone in the future doesn't add back all the omni antennas...

    Working with an RV campground, so it's different from whatever is considered a 'standard' net. There are about a 100 sites and each site could have multiple devices. Gaming and streaming are probably not possible, but good access for everyone would be nice while connections between sites should...
