[dba-Tech] One (router) to Many (users)

Well, one thing I can think of...	

If this is a non-business account, you might run into traffic volume issues
with the ISP.  That is, if there is too much traffic, the ISP may complain.

I think my router is supposed to be able to handle up to 255 connections.
But I bet the practical limit is much lower.

Dear List:

 

I have a friend who is a clinical psychologist and is in an office with
several other offices adjacent.  One of the recent move-ins is married to an
IT type who is going to set up a wireless router.  Then, everybody in these
individual offices can work off of the wireless router and they all have to
pay only one fee to the ISP (in this case AT&T).  

 

How many people can be using one wireless router at a time?  What other
problems might he anticipate from this arrangement? 

 

He gets all of his email from the web, BTW. One account is a Yahoo.  One is
Road Runner which he has at home.  The third one is from someone else but he
picks up the mail from the web.

 

MTIA,

 

Rocky
