   haha :blobcatgiggle2: LTT is building a Event Hall with wifi7 with just 4/5 AP's.
   Let me make a prediction, it wont perform as expected since most devices are not high end and use lower standards, however since the hall is made for lan parties one doesnt need wifi that much.
   I still would prefer 10 older AP's than 5 highend ones

     @hexaheximal they do, as far as i know this should be an event hall for lan parties so ethernet will be there... but even if they have ethernet, to all my knowledge and experience, having just 4-5 AP's to provide wifi to potentially thousend people is not enough

     @Jain unfortunately, they do not have the braincells required to even consider the crazy concept of... just using ethernet...

     @Jain Hahaha, I can say with certainty that thatis nowhere near enough. We had 8 Unifi AP-U7 Pros in two big tents set up even with manual channel selections and best possible spacing for the least overlaps and even with those and at best ~75 concurrent guests, you absolutely noticed slow downs, drop outs and latency spikes. The air is simply a limited medium! Oh, and almost no device was connected to WiFi 7 over a three day period, a handful maybe, mostly modern iPhones...
