How many guests can our Wi-Fi network handle?

Each base station can connect up to 250 users, but as they share its bandwidth, performanc­e will noticeably degrade as concurrent users rise. To deliver better service for more people, deploy multiple base stations from an Ethernet backbone. In a busy business, you might also benefit from Wi-Fi management software such as Cucumber Tony (ct-networks.io) or Tanaza (tanaza.com).

Which Ethernet adapter should I add to my 2017 MacBook Pro?

Whether it uses Thunderbol­t 3 or USB-C, the connection speed will be no different – both provide more bandwidth than Ethernet needs. If your Mac has only two Thunderbol­t ports, look for an adapter with a passthroug­h power port and handy ports such as USB-A, or a small hub, for greater flexibilit­y.
