LM007: Limiting the number of users when using Linux acccess point

Modified on Mon, 23 Oct, 2017 at 4:18 PM

You can limit the number of users in Linux by modifying the max_num_sta value in the hostapd config file.

For example if you wanted a maximum of five users the value would be set to:

max_num_sta=5

New stations will be rejected after the station table is full. IEEE 802.11 has a limit of 2007 different association IDs so this number should not be larger than that.
