I don't think this is so much the issue as how many computer the
wireless
transciever can handle. Most max out at 10-30. The Ciscos seem to do
more (and
I might try and get one if I see one for less than $500). Also, the
most computers
transferring data wirelessly, the less bandwidth you have for more
clients.
And, I doubt you have 253 computers or devices (although at one point,
I had about 30
devices).
