I want to use Android phones to check tickets at the gate of an event. These phones are connected to a password protected router (WPA2) and a PC to validate. That all works nicely in a test setting, but I'm worried it might collaps if there are many other competing phones around.

How can I get a stable WIFI connection between my phones and my router when thousands of irrelevant phones are around?

Do the other phones clogg the router with requests even when the router is password protected?

Shall I hide the SSID?
