John,
As everyone else has said, adding APs to the room might cause some big
problems with interference. At Washburn we use Xirrus wireless arrays to
provide high density coverage all over campus. Each array as multiple
directional radios that can operate either frequency ranges (or both
with 8 radio or higher models) and they now have draft 2 N stuff as
well. If you are looking at purchasing a solution to your problem you
might look into them. Otherwise I would check the positioning of your
current radios to optimize coverage.

Hi
We have a small installation with about 40 Cisco lwap's (b/g) running on
a Cisco 4402. I've just gotten a request from a group that wants to run
50+ clients in one room. The last time we tried that about 4 years ago,
it was a disaster. We had fat AP's at the time. There were a lot of
Mac's, and they kept grabbing each other instead of the AP's. Ugh. How
do folks handle this now? With my current system can I just throw a
couple more AP's in the room and let them have at it?
Thanks
