You can connect A LOT. But how many are using/downloading makes a difference. If someone is just surfing, or 100 computers are surfing, then nothing noticeable. If they all are downloading 3GB music CD files, then everything comes to a crawl. All are sharing the total bandwidth. Surfing takes very little, everyone downloading at the same time takes everything.

Any wireless router or access point is limited to about 30 users, this is a limitation of the wireless itself. At this level there is little noticeable change unless everyone is downloading large files. With additional access points you can add about 30 users per point. The overall broadband bandwidth is the governing control on performance.

It always depends on how much bandwidth is being use at a certain time to the router.

Depends on how much power the router has and how much downloading you are doing.
