The AP has the physical capacity to handle 2048 MAC addresses. However, because the AP is a shared medium and acts as a wireless hub, the performance of each user decreases as the number of users increases on an individual AP. Ideally, not more than 24 clients should associate with the AP because the throughput of the AP is reduced with each client that associates to the AP.
Yes, AP would be able to manage these many clients. However, as I said AP's are the wireless hub, so it would affect the signal strength.
If you have LWAP and WLC, you can manage them through WCS.
Autonomous AP's can't be managed by WCS.
