Hi,

Cisco recommends no more than 25 clients per WAP, type of traffic also matters.

If the type of traffic is mostly emails, web browsing, etc ... then the value can go up to 35 clients per WAP. If the type of traffic is video then the value is around 8 to 10 clients per AP.

No there is no cisco documents about regarding my last post.

Normally vendors will always say that it can support up to 200 clients, but it doesn’t mean it will work. Rule of thumb to be safe is 25-30. . Please note that this is only a theoretical maximum; in practice, interference caused by multiple clients communicating simultaneously will cause this limit to be far lower.

[support up to 200 clients]

you can't even find a Cisco-provided document for up to 200 clients?

I couldn't find max clients even in the datasheet

Check this website...where you can compare diff models of cisco APs.

Here cisco mentioned that 1850 can support max 400 clients per radio.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/wireless/access-point-controller-comparison.html?product_id=08|10

still i will say its theoretical....

Depends if you're talking to a sales or technical person.
"support up to 200 clients" is just marketing talk.
No technical person would like to see >35 wireless client per AP (for low traffic).
For voice traffic, <10. For HD video, <8.

Cisco use to have their theoretical max clients per radio but it was repent on how many MAC address can be supported and the RF. I think Cisco was smart to remove that because so many folks were using that literally. That never should be followed nor should they put it back in the data sheet. Take a look at Meraki’s documentation on their AP’s for an example:
