We are currently running a 4-channel plan with Aruba gear and try to max out with 25 clients per radio...I try not to have more than 4 WAPs in any one room because of the channel limitaltions, but we do have a few cases, like a 500 seat lecture hall, where we have 12 WAPs in the room. We let Aruba take care of the RF and power levels...so far so good....
I try to add/plan for one of two more WAPs than needed and disable (or not install some but have cabling/PoE avail if need be)...of couse that's only of budget allows...
