Mehr WLAN-User

aleatorisch

Die moodlebox verträgt nicht mehr als 17-19 Benutzer gleichzeitig (auch wenn mit mehr geworben wird)
Ich benutze einen weiteren Router - konkret einen Ravepower AC750
Das Gerät kann man so konfigurieren, dass es sich in das Wlan der Moodlebox einklinkt (wlan mesh).
Damit können dann auch Gruppen von über 25 Personen problemlos auf die moodlebox zugreifen.

Der Ravepower ist so oder so ein so extrem nützliches Gerät, so dass sich die Anschaffung lohnt :-)

aleatorisch Do you have actual numbers: What is the maximum number of connected devices according to the specifications? How far could you go? https://www.ravpower.com/products/rp-wd009-filehub#filehub.html does not have these.

Rough English translation of the above post

MoodleBox can not handle more than 17-19 users at the same time.

I use another router - specifically a RAVPower Filehub AC750 (model: RP-WD009). You can configure the device to connect to the WLAN of the MoodleBox (WLAN mesh). This allows groups of more than 25 people to access the MoodleBox without any problems.

Either way, the RAVPower is such an extremely useful device that it is worth the purchase :-)

Would it be too much to ask you for an update on this configuration?

Amazon still sells the RAVPower Filehub AC750 (model: RP-WD009) ($85 USD+ shipping).

I think that having more than 20 simultaneous users in a MoodleBox connecting via smart phones, tablets or laptops would be a very useful feature for many poor schools with little funds.

Or a good marketing strategy for convincing a Dean to use Moodle in a poor school in many countries that do not have ethernet access to internet, nor enough PCs in the computer labs.

Once they can use Moodle in a MoodleBox, they might want to upgrade to a larger Moodle site.

A tutorial on how to do this would be very nice!

We discussed the problem with the only 20 to 25 users on a MoodleBox in the past. The maximal number of users is set by internal parameters of the Raspberry Pi WiFi driver. But for the use in larger groups it is no problem to add an external router with an external wifi. The connected router needs to have its own DNS to set the ip of the ethernet port to moodlebox.home. The Moodle server can use only one server name.
