More details please:
- which brand of access points are you talking about? *Mikrokit* - how many users are you planning for? *Around 50 give or take* - what devices are the users carrying? *Iphones, Ipads, Tablets, Phones, Few laptops* - how far are they going to be from the access points? *At most 300m* - do you have clear line of sight between the APs and the users? *Mostly though there are walls. Its a big hotel* - what is the link speed between the video server and the access points?* 300mbps* - what are the specs of the video server - CPU / RAM?* not sure but high enough* - what else is going on in that area - other guests, other WLANs, etc? *There other wifis in the area*
A lot of things need to be known or planned for to ensure perfect delivery.
*I know that and I shall hire a competent company / person to undertake the roll out. My questions are more fact finding on if its possible to do something like that *
Kind regards, Bernard

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
1. Do these Access Points have a maximum no of users who can be connected? 2. Do they have a maximum bandwith? 3. 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
