In theory, in Infrastructure mode, a maximum of 2048 wireless nodes can be supported. In ad-hoc mode, a maximum of 256 wireless nodes can be supported. Please keep in mind that ad-hoc mode has additional overhead and the more nodes which are used, the lower the amount of available bandwidth will be. For applications which are bandwidth intensive, such as games and multimedia, 6 to 8 nodes would be optimum in achieving adequate network performance.
