How many computers can connect to a wireless router?

I am looking at buying a wireless router mainly for playing multiplayer games between my PC and laptop. I want one that I can use in the future for broadband + more computers.


What feature on a wireless router decides how many computer can connect to it?





Thanks.|||Most machines use something called DHCP (Dynamic Host Connection Protocol) to hand out IP addresses. Typically home routers are configured to allow about 250 machines available to connect.





In practice, you need to figure out how much bandwidth one player uses, and then figure out how much bandwidth is available from your Internet Service Provider. Divide, and you will see how many players can co-exist on a wireless router without degradation.|||You can connect any amount of computers, but you should remember, that you lower general Internet speed and get worse quality of connection. Besides, your speed doesn't share in equal parts.So it is better to limit computers.http://www.pissedconsumer.com/consumer-reviews/accessories-and-programs.htm

|||I don't think there is a limit on the number of connections, but the internet speed drops as it switches from one to the next. Faster speed wireless would help and so would the internet speed from the provider. There is a limit of receiving speed on each PC also.

Wireless-N is the fastest. g is next.|||Each Router is different.





I have a netear which can connect up to 44 or 46 i think it is but that's about normal.|||OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
