I am using Pi1B with Piratebox 1.1.3 on a sandisk class 10 sd, a TP-LINK TL-WN722N and a 128GB Sandisk fast usb flash disk. I am lately taking my piratebox at crowded places like concerts or beaches. After an hour or so of working flawlessly, it seems that no one can connect anymore. After a reboot, it works again for a few minutes but then again the wifi is discoverable, but no one can connect. I believe that this combo of HW cannot handle more than 30-40 connections at the time, so I think of trying the following:
dhcp lease time: down to 30m
IPSTART=192.168.1.20 IPEND=192.168.1.40
Will this just limit available IPs lets say from 20-40, so only 20 devices can connect at a time? Does the 30m lease time means that after 30minutes, the connection will be dropped?
