The important thing to remember is that when you exceed 20 to 30 wireless users in a small area, your now dealing with an 'Enterprise' deployment. Lots of whitepapers exist on this subject. Design your layer 2 stuff correctly, and use L3 gear that is up to the task. If you're trying to use Linksys wireless routers to handle 400 users, you may as well try to invade a foreign country with lawn darts and a squirt gun.

Speaking of all that, does someone have a "conference wireless' bcp handy? The sort that starts off with "dont deploy $50 unbranded taiwanese / linksys etc routers that fall over and die at more than 5 associations, place them so you dont get RF interference all over the place etc" before going on to more faqs like what to do so worms dont run riot? Comes in handy for that, as well as for public wifi access points. srs
