Hi,
you won't be able to cover 5km with one router... if you amply the signal as much as possible, your router won't be able to hear the device on the other end of the 5km whispering....

Should those 500 ppl be connected all the time? I believe not?

The problem of that range for one device is the following

Normal:

  Client  <---- see the ------ AP
  Client  -------  connect ----> AP
  Client <---- Transmit  ---> AP

Wide area with one router

  Client <===== sees a strong signal from =====  Powerful sending AP
  Client ------ tries to connect --                                       Powerful sending AP

But the Client's signal strength is not powerful enough to reach the AP
seen by the client
You can't overcome the issue for serving clients. It might work with directional routers, but only for - maybe 100meters. Then you start to have the problem above again.

So you need a series of devices.
