How many wireless users can I have on at once? Also, does this have port forwarding?

about 20 users maybe 25 not more. Cisco states they do not support more than 20.

Not sure about the number of devices I have 7 devices that are wirelessly connected and it does have port forwarding its pretty good router and I have used several

No, it is not possible for the 4 users to work at the same time. You definitely would need a multi user version.

I am not sure how many. I have had five on at a time BUT you have software that can manage connections. It will tell you who is on. You can also block devices you don't want on the network. The software is amazing!

I don't quite understand your question. This is a wireless router. It has (I think 5) plugs for wired connections with the added capability of connecting to other things wirelessly. From what I've researched, having two routers is not a good idea. They will "fight" with each other to issue IP addresses and you have to do a bit of work to make one dominate and the other the slave. If the router you have is not wireless, then simply replace it with this router. I have a 2000SF house and have a strong wireless connection nearly everywhere.

This can handle up to 4 wired devices and maybe 2-3 wireless connections, but it will slow the network speed, unless you have extreme speed internet.

Quite a bit, actually. I use one onboard USB port for WiFi and the second for a 4-port hub that contains mouse, keyboard and flash drive. One free. No problem.

You can connect as many devices as you have. The biggest question would be how many of those are using it at the same time. This is where the higher bandwidth (cable, fiber, etc..) handle it better. I personally have my Xbox, computer, Nook HD tablet, and three of our cell phones connected to this all the time and my speeds are wonderful. And I am only using the lower band. If the router is decently close to your devices make sure and connect them to the 5 Ghz band. .. you will notice the difference. All in all it has been the best router I have used yet for the money.

Yes it can but you have to configure it to do so. look up "port forwarding" Cheers

I think this unit does support 50 users but I am not 100% sure, sorry. My IT guy told me it did but I am nowhere near that limit yet.

Yes, multiple SSID's and works great with VLAN's. You can also do a guest SSID if you don't use VLAN's and even customize a guest portal page.

Yes, it also support multi-homing BGP. Each port can be independently configured and will accept as many WANs as you want.

Yes. Buy this thing you will never look back, I have three of them and it is the only router I am going to buy from here forward. each port can be configured for LAN or WAN interfaces. You can plug multiple wireless dongles into the thing. You can prioritize each connection. Share bandwidth between connections. place data limits on each dongle. AND Cradle Point keeps their firmware current to ensure the compatible devices cover the market and are pretty up to date. I have noticed once a new device is released cradle point adds it to their supported device list within a month or two.

Each device would give you a separate WiFi ID that you'd connect to, one at a time. No Sync, no rename. It works great for what it is though.

It would depend on how many addresses you give it. A class-c subnet, the default (255.255.255.0) would be around 254 devices. There are 4 wired ports as well, but they get their IP's from that same pool. You could have more, but the bandwidth is shared among the wifi clients. 802.11n give you a 100Mbs and sometimes higher rate. The latency and throughput depend on distance, congestion, line of sight, and load. If your checking your email, not much BandWidth is used, if your watching videos or downloading files, then more BW is used by that client. I can stream dvd quality (2-4Mbs streams) to 2 or 3 televisions at the same time with no lag or issues now that I use this wifi.

I don't know the exact number but I have successfully connected 3 devices. Jus keep in mind the more device you connect you may have reduced speed.

This is only for expanding the number of wired network ports. It is not intended or designed for wireless use.

Why are you saying it won't support 7 devices? I have all 7 of my ports in use with no issues.
