Wifi has a lot of problems that can be fixed with better drivers and better queue management. Talk I gave at the ieee in september:
http://snapon.lab.bufferbloat.net/~d/ieee802.11-sept-17-2014/11-14-1265-00-0wng-More-on-Bufferbloat.pdf But I concur with the other members of this thread. It currently starts falling apart long before you hit 128 users/channel, and nearly nothing you can do, beamforming, etc, will get it to scale well to massively higher densisities. I would like it if some future standard supported 5mhz channels, multicast support was upped to 10s of megabits, etc., and what I outlined above was implemented universally. It would help.
