when AP can consign a more packets per second ?

How to calculate how much the AP (on MT) can consign ?
For example, my AP (under construction) PCU : PII MMX 650 MHz, 128 SDRAM, CF, new MT, radio miniPCI Tonze Atheros 5213.


when AP can consign a more packets per second ?
where is a dependency ?
more power on PCU ?
more RAM ?
or radio (mini PCI card)?
or soft ?
Thank’s for any help !

Your radio cards are the problem. MT don’t seem to be able to say how many users you can server on a radio card - but then again it depends on what TYPE of traffic you have going through your router. 80 Clients on a card with NO P2P traffic seems to be the max. The more complicated your filters/rules/routing etc. the more CPU power you need.
