I was curious if anyone knew the maximum number of users that Cisco recommends be connected using wireless connectivity to a single Cisco 871 router.

It really depends on the type of traffic the clients are generating, for instance is it voice, video, web browsing, etc. A rule of thumb is you really don't want more than 25 associations per AP. If you are dealing with voice typically you don't want more than seven active calls at a time per AP.

Thanks for the quick reply. There is no requirement for voice or video at this time (that always can change). I'll take that rule of thumb to design the network.
