Thanks, Riyaz.

Now with the narrative I've seen here, I wonder if one day some guy decides to set his APs to draft-N/ac without backwards compat and escape the wrath of mgmnt:)

From this: "Note that the maximum throughput from the AP is also dependant on the slowest user on your network - so one user with a bad signal affects overall performance of the whole AP."

Wash,

This is a good chart for it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11

802.11ac is going to be the next 802.11n - unfortunately even 802.11n hardly caught on here, since a lot of devices
eg laptops that have been sold over the years are 802.11g. You can see maybe 20% or less of devices connecting on WiFi
networks in this region are 802.11n

@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


    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
