@Job, how about for draft-N and AC standards? I see there are APs now doing 1300Mbps for home setup (although this is now OT coz this poster talked of outdoor ones).

Access points have a theoretical maximum based on the modulation implemented.
The standard 802.11 bg has a maximum 32 users connected concurrently but the

number may vary depending on data rate requirements of each connected user.

I have seen others talk about about 100+ concurrent users but in real world cases
its not possible with the kind of bandwidths we utilize.

We are currently planning a party for a friend and I wanted to load some videos on a server then hook it up with these powerful outdoor AP (its a big hotel) then have all the guests log in and stream the video(via XMBC or MediaTomb) to their devices (720p and higher video mark you)

I have several questions
Do these Access Points have a maximum no of users who can be connected?
Do they have a maximum bandwith?
What are the disadvantages of these idea and what should I watch out for?

I haven't made a decision on which to buy so go ahead and suggest whatever you think has the highest no of simultaneous users and bandwith
