BANDWIDTH FOR EACH CLIENT

[f_f_5638114]

the bandwidth of let say 802.11g is 54mbps ,when 2 clients join the same ap and the same channel becomes 54/2 and when a third client comes it becomes (54/2)/2 and so on,how lets say the 7762 supports 256 clients ?what bandwidth 256 clients will have?

[f_f_5638114]

if i have 10 clients on 11g(smartphones with 55mbps) and 10 clients on 11n(smartphones that have only 65 mbps ,one antenna, 20mhz ) both on 2.4ghz band
the bandwidth of the clients will be
for g 55/10 and for n 65/10
or 55/20 ?
or 65/20 ?

@FF rather than solving for hypothetical scenarios, maybe you could tell us your design goal and we can help recommend a practical solution.

11g clients will see 55/10 (5,5) and 11n clients will see 65/10 (6.5) but as you can see from the much more comprehensive answers above - this has little practical value in planning.

i am not trying to "solve" anything
i just try to understand some technical aspects of wifi better

You may have already seen it but the WiFi Essentials course may be of help. (use the Guest login to browse the course)

sorry i should of gave some info, most of the AP's are 7982's, the ZD is a 3000. I might have at max 20-30 clients on any AP at one time, and that is really overdoing it. I am pretty overkill, my school is 1:1 laptops to students, have around 500 students 50 AP's, it is a very long school.

Thanks
