Except for bandwidth (everyone talking at the same time) there is no limit. However - The entire network must fit within the topology limit (so, for strict Ethernet and no switch or repeaters (just hubs) the entire physical wiring must be less than 300 feet in length.)

Most wireless networks with recent hardware are good in doors to about 500 square feet; but a 'wired' connection has electrical and heat propagation issues -- both of which limit the physical distance.

What is wireless topology?

It's a network architecture which employs wireless devices. Compared to "classical" network topology, where the cable is network medium, in wireless networks is the air a network medium. It means, that all data travels through the air. Wireless topology can be of 2 basic categories: Ad-hoc = no central device, just a bunch of computers connected together through their wireless network adapters. Infrastructure = there is a central device called "access point" to which all client computers connect. This access point provides interconnectivity between clients and also sometimes between the wireless and wired network.

How do network adapters work to connect devices to a network?

Network adapters are essential devices for connecting computers, laptops, smartphones and other devices to a network (such as the internet or local area networks). They function as intermediaries between the device and the communication medium (such as cables, Wi-Fi signals or Bluetooth connections), allowing communication to occur efficiently.
