I think I recall that brief testing with a bunch of consumer access points at OLPC showed that this number was usually above 15 clients and below 30 clients, per AP, at 54Mbps. For hosting hundreds of devices, you should look into getting many access points that each have three omni-directional antennas working on non-overlapping channels. The PyCon wifi team does a write-up about their setup each year, which seems to contain more information than anyone could need: http://www.tummy.com/Community/Articles/pycon2007-network/ http://www.tummy.com/Community/Articles/pycon2008-network/ http://www.tummy.com/Community/Articles/pycon2009-network/ - Chris. -- Chris Ball <[email protected]> One Laptop Per Child _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
