Limit the number of simultaneous connections to an Internet box

Hello,

I manage the internet connection in a public place, and we would like to limit the number of simultaneous connections to the wifi, which can exceed 25 devices connected including smartphones, causing slow browsing, among other things.
So I would like to know how I could do this, particularly through the configuration of the box (a neufbox), to set this limit in place, or, if there are any other means to achieve it?

Thank you.

    Hello,

    For this type of configuration, what you need most are available tools, tools that are not provided with a NeufBox... far too limited for this type of need.

    On the other hand, with a proper router or an access point (TP-Link, Cisco, Ubiquity and many others), it is possible to configure limits or even, for example, to restrict the bandwidth of each connected device to prevent a few devices from monopolizing the entire bandwidth, which is the case today.

    You could have the same problem with 3 connected devices as with 200. It will depend on how the devices use the connection.
