Dear Team

we want to know how many maximum concurrent users can be connected to the access point of the below models. because in a recent event at client place in a hall there were 3 ap's of below model and in that hall total people were around 200+ so after someone tried to join they were not able to connect

AIR-AP2802I-D-K9

AIR-AP3802I-D-K9

- @durgesh-m 20 to 30 users on average. But it also depend on the type of application(s) being used

@durgesh-m as @Mark Elsen mentioned, there can't be straight answer to this question. Depending upon the client type and how much traffic those clients/applications will generate/consume it will vary. For an example if in this hall maximum persons will just sit and listen to speaker and don't use the devices actively, probably 3 APs are good enough. But if these 200 peoples will use WiFi actively and some bandwidth intensive applications then off course you need high density of radios.

Apart I see you have different generation APs AIR-AP2802I-D-K9/AIR-AP3802I-D-K9 and C9105 AXI-D mixed. It is highly recommended not to mix APs like this. It will impact seamless roaming between APs and contribute to client disconnections.
