    GF has Netopia 3347w at work and asked me how many computers she could connect to it? There are 4 LAN connections on the back but how many wireless connections can the Netopia take? Is there a limit?

    I guess the limit is set by how many DHCP addresses the router can give out?

    Pretty much, in theory. In reality, you're constrained by the bandwidth & actual throughput offered by the AP/router. From experience: I would not put more than 15 people on it (I tried 38 computers before, with 26 simultaneous connections...that was not good.) .

    Sound thanks. There may be up to 10 connections at once but it's mostly mails and such so no streaming videos etc.
