need some help on a school project

[iamroot]

I have a school project on networking and I need some help. What kind of equipment do I need to connect 20 PCs and 25 laptops in a space of 105m x 75m for a wireless network? Would really appreciate any advice on this=)

20 wireless NICs, 25 PCMCIA wireless NICs and one AP

Can one AP handle 45 connections?

Yup, if you correct the setting in the router. It'll still be fairly slow if they all access at once, but it'll work
I recommend you enable WPA or WEP

How if I want the speed to be fast even if everybody accesses at once? How many routers would I need then?

Then you need to get something that has MIMO in or on it. This is one of them...

It allows multiple people to gain wireless access all at once over the same router. Example would be me downloading Fedora 5 Test 2 DVD and at the same time another computer downloading Scientific Linux 4.x 4-CDs, granted the network would slow down considerably for everyone else but when one person sends a packet to the wireless router and another is downloading from it there are no collisions and thus no drop packets.

That is the simpliest way I can explain it. Somebody else may have other suggestions. but that is what I would do.
