Is it possible to run a LAN party entirely off wireless cards. Say 15-20 people. It is my understanding wireless devices don't support full duplex, but I could be wrong. Assuming everyone has at least G and 54MBs. Thanks,

Its possible.. I suppose. But wireless is un realiable.


As I sit up in my bed looking at all the stars, I begin to wonder... WHERE THE HECK IS MY ROOF!?

You would need a beefy wireless accesspoint. Probably no less than a Cisco aironet 1200 or something. Or a whole bunch of lower end ap's in repeater mode or something.

I thought on wireless the bandwidth was divided by the number of ppl using it so witht aht manyn people you would suffer substantial slow downs so multiple access points would be advised
