Router for small business

paddygolden

Hi,
We are a bar/restaurant/accomodation. We have a VF HG658c ADSL router.
WiFi on router is switched off. It is connected to a network of 4 x
Ubiquiti APs. We can have up to ~60 users connected at one time. The
wireless system works great, strong connection for all users
throughout building. However, some new users cannot connect, and I
have to reset modem / APs to resolve. I have used the Ubiquiti
material in other sites and it works well, so I suspect the HG659c
router. Should I be looking at a higher-grade modem/router for this
application, or should I bridge the HG658c to a new router? Any
suggestions please? Thank you.

Reduce the DHCP timer down to 30 minutes, then you won't starve yourself of addresses.

Thanks Ed, I will try in next couple of days and report back.
Do you think the existing modem/router (HG658c) is adequate for our needs or should I upgrade the router?

Well no, not really. You need a captive portal. Right now a single guest can sniff everyone elses traffic and without a proper disclaimer you could be legally vulnerable.

Why not stick with Ubiquiti and get an Edge router and bridge that modem
