As you embark on the exercise, I would advise on the following: - do some planning and investigation to ensure you look at all the bottlenecks and possible sources of issues (congestion, interference, capacity of APs etc) - it is important to do a test a few days in advance.Try to simulate the load that the network will have to carry on D-Day. You can use a couple of tablet PCs and also do concurrent downloads using a download manager to verify that the infrastructure can take the load. - do not ignore the obvious - UPS for the APs and servers, traffic control with respect to competing uses - e.g. torrents, plan B.. Looks like an interesting event. Have a lot of fun! Kind regards, Bernard On Wed, Dec 11, 2013 at 5:42 PM, Silas Savali <dzez2003@gmail.com> wrote:
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.
