wireless LAN
Im doing an assignment on wireless lan, my part of it is to write about planing, designing, and cofiguration as well as security and software needed.

eg. i need to write how many clients i can put in one room for example due to interference / noise.

does anyone know where i can find some resources about it ?

thanks a lot in advance!

cheers!

I think what you're asking is how do you determine the maximum number of wireless clients you can have residing in one room?

Wireless clients using the same access point aren't going to interfere with each other in the sense that they make 'interference/noise' for the other clients. They simply all share the same bandwidth when on the same AP; so the more clients, the slower the network will run.

Your limiting factor is simply going to be how slow you are willing to let the throughput to/from each client run and the maximum number of nodes you can have on that subnet.
