I was wondering how many concurrent wireless connections or users the average router/AP like say a WRT54G can support? I suppose it matters what each user is doing torrents vs browsing, and maybe how many wired ports are used? but I can't seem to find any kind of numbers on the manufacturers sites:confused:
 
At my work, I've deployed a few WRT54GL's... it's sufficient enough to handle 15-20 wireless connections with web browsing only, no firewall, routing or QOS... just straight up wireless -> ethernet bridge, with another router handling firewall/routing duties. I've never seen more than that many connections, but one of my colleagues says he's seen those handle up to 30 wireless connections.
