In my small business (6 users + server), I setup a wireless network. I used d-link G cards and a G router (54 mbps). The router is a 4-port router. Everyone seems to be able to connect to the network at the same time, but when they are in quickbooks, some of them get an error message that basically says they lost connection to the drive. I've checked the settings on the server and the shared drives (using windows 2003 small business server) and every user has full access and permissions. So here's the questions.
How many users can you put on a 4-port wireless router? I've heard both sides. One person said only 4-ports, only 4 users. Another has said it is 4-ports wired, but 32 wireless users can access it.
The people that are losing connection, is the problem on the server settings or in quickbooks? I would imagine it would be on the server, because I can't find anything about it under quickbooks (which BTW is a multi-user version).
If the router doesn't support more than 4 users, what are some other wireless options? I only see 4-port wireless routers, no more. Would I need to uplink another 4-port router to the existing one? Or would I need an access point?
Any input is appreciated. I am at a loss here. Thanks.
