NUMBER OF MR APs NEEDED BASED ON CLIENT COUNT

Hi team,
How do we know how many APs need to be deployed on the basis of client count? Say we have 500 users and a 30/70 split between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz is used.

It's not that black and white.  Maybe check out this article and some of the links from it:

But I know you want a number.  20 users per AP will normally give "good" performance.  Knowing nothing else than what is presented so far, I would be thinking around 25 access points.

@PhilipDAth thank you. I'm meant to understand that there is a formula for calculating this. I'm trying to get that too.

Also think about that users do not equal clients. And a connected Apple Watch will have less impact than the user developing cloud-databases.
