Max number of Wifi Networks allowed

[bernardojose3522]

Hi All 

Just a quick question regarding the max number of Wifi networks that can be allowed in one spot(when not using a controller) in my example am talking about an exhibition hall which will have 8 to 9 small companies who each require there own separate Wifi network, each supporting up to 800 users can I have more than 8 different wifi networks all in one place if not what would be the recommend number.

Hi,

AP's can only support up to 16, but the WLC you can configure more.... recommended is 3-4 max in a wireless environment.  It's best practice.

More SSIDs = equals more management traffic = more airtime consumed = more potential spectrum congestion
