    Can someone settle a discussion for me.

    The above router has 802.11B/G and Access Point built in. Also integrated DHCP. I believe that multiple wireless clients can connect to the router and use the web connection whereas my brother beleives due to the fact the specs say '1 x network - Radio-Ethernet' that only one wireless client will be able to connect.

    Anyone care to comment?

    Smack your bro for making such a ridiculous statement... :D

    There is a limit to the number of wireless clients it can handle but it think its at least 250... I have one of these sharing an IBB connection. Works great.

    just read this one now... :D
    it can definitely handle more than 1 client.. it can,in theory handle, hundreds. in practice: you're best to limit it to <10 clients (of course-a client could be an Access Point.. really best to keep it small though)

    Your bandwidth will be shared between the number of people connected. So if there are only 2 hosts connected you'll have decent performance. If there are 10 hosts connected then things will be relatively slow.

    Set it up with a WPA key and MAC address filtering to limit the number of people who can connect. Don't have it like in Galway, where from my house I can see four wireless networks, three with no security and one with WEP which I could hack in 5 mins if I was so inclined.
