How many users can "b", "g" and "n" access point handle realistically speaking, with the consideration that 80% users are doing bandwidth intensive tasks like watching video, downloading files etc.
How many users can "b", "g" and "n" access point handle realistically speaking without users being thrown off that access point, with the consideration that 80% users are doing bandwidth intensive tasks like watching video, downloading files etc.
Also what is their realistic range taking into consideration that they are placed in dorm rooms, hall ways etc.
What software's are out there that can be used to create a map showing how much area is covered by these access points over a particular location?

but actual bandwidth is very variable, much more than cable links networks like ethernet.
For intensive tasks you need 1Mbps
I have a "g" 54Mbps and I stay almost over 10 Mbps at a distance of 2 flats from wifi router antenna (6m with 2 walls to cross).
With 3 laptop linked we fall to 1 Mbps, but in same room (3m distance and 1 wall to cross) we stay all over 10Mpbs.
"b" starts from 11 Mbps, with similar dynamics
"n" increases bandwidth, coverage area and number of antennas/connections, depending by implementation.
