The expectation is that 25 to 30 802.11b/g devices can be used at any one time on a single access point. Network performance typically declines the more congested an access point becomes.
15-50 client devices
6-10 computers ....
No one really cares about this so why do you want to know?
An access point is a device such as a WLAN or modem which permits wireless devices to connect to a network.
b, the network will ALWAYS drop to the slowest device no matter if there are faster devices on it. n devices would slow down to g or b speeds also. The slower one can't go faster so the faster ones have no choice but to slow down. You can get around that problem if you were to get a Dual Band router and put the slower devices on a different band and then there wouldn't be a problem.
In centralised arbitration, a single device decides which of the requesting devices gets access to a shared resource at a particular point in time. In distributed, or decentralised arbitration, the devices themselves decide.

Access Point (AP)
Depends upon the access point, they all have their own specifications. Most access points issue a CLASS C IP space which is 254 addresses, one used by the access point. Many access points will limit the number of connected devices to a much lower number; for good reason. Home class access points do not have the CPU power to handle 253 devices and 802.11b does not have the bandwidth to properly serve than number of clients either.
