My wireless is setup for a max associations of 25 per A/P. This is based
on
my SE's recommendation and makes sense to me based on the 11 mbps max
bandwidth.

IIRC, Cisco's 1200s can handle up to 255 (I know it's between 250-255).
However, since all users associated with a single AP are effectively
sharing bandwidth, etc, that would be like having 250+ people sharing a
single 10Mbps hub! That's ugly. I would highly recommend using more
APs, preferrably enough that you have no more than 100 users per AP.
Probably not what you want to hear, but there is NO WAY I'd support an
AP with 500 people using it (I'd hate to be working in a place where
500+ people were within reach of a single AP =)
Having said that, if you setup 3 APs each on their own frequency (1, 6,
11), then that would at least spread the burden around so that (in
theory if they split evenly) you'd get 500/3 or ~167 users per AP. I
would get more APs, spread them out, and even tweak the power of each AP
so that I could have less than 100 people per AP (personally, I wouldn't
want more than 50+ people on a single AP at any given time, but that's
me)

Hi Group,
Sorry for the off topic question.
How many users can an aironet access point support ?For example if I
have 500 users and all in one location how many aironets do I have to
use (All in different channels but at the same location)?
Thanks in advance
Fadil
