Clients refers to client devices. So you may have 10 people in the network, but each person may have two client devices (phone and ipad for example), so you would have 20 client devices on the network.

The connection will be indoors, and I am just trying to extend the range of our wireless network, so I do not know what you mean by clients.

Is the Mesh connection going to be indoors or outdoors? If it's outdoors, I would recommend the AP1130. If it's indoors, maybe an AP 250 or 550, depending on how many clients you are trying to host.

I need to know which Mesh system to buy, we do not want to spend a lot, but we do want something that is easy set up.

You don't have to use an ATOM, any of our APs will form a mesh bridge. If you can tell me what HiveManager platform you are using, I can give you a guide for setting up Mesh in your HiveManager.

This guide will walk you through how to determine which HiveManager you are using, for reference: https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/Which-HiveManager-Platform-am-I-using
