Good Morning @subarayarsooper

Please take. Read through:

These are theoretical limits

Hi @subarayarsooper, Meraki no longer publishes this information because there are many variables that can affect limits, and they will vary based on your environment and other factors.

Your best bet is to talk to the Sales team. You can share details about your unique environment and needs, and they will be able to tell you more specifically what to expect.

You can find your country's sales number on the page here: https://meraki.cisco.com/form/contact/

I hope that helps.

This is nothing to do with the AP, and everything to do with the available airtime in the RF spectrum. If you want the best performance, disable 2.4Ghz to increase available airtime.

Assuming you have good clear WiFi channels then some tips ...

10 to 15 users per AP will give you excellent performance.

15 to 30 users per AP will give you good performance.

30 to 50 low volume users per AP will work but throughput will be low. Forget about using video.

50 to 127 users - will work but will be absolutely horrible. People won't want to use the WiFi. But if all you care about is how many people can connect - then you can use these numbers. To stand any kind of chance, you will have to insist on users only having the latest devices with support for the latest WiFi standards and you will 100% have to disable 2.4Ghz.
