Thanks alot. The part for maximum no. of users was the ones that was giving me a headache.

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?
Maximum number of users per AP is determined by the IP address space being used. If your DHCP server is configured for a /24 subnet, then of course you have a maximum limit of 253 users, because the AP takes one IP.
  1. Do they have a maximum bandwidth?
Well, that sounds obvious to me. When you buy an AP, they say the Wireless speed -  54Mbps/150Mbps/300Mbps...
and you never really achieve that max speed....

  1. What are the disadvantages of these idea and what should I watch out for?
Not having implemented any such infrastructure, I have no clue as to what the cons would be.

However, your APs must be able to support the throughput that you expect.
