You'll be fine! Although there *MUST* be a cutoff point regarding throughput
vs. number of cards, I don't know what it is.

You won't be able to run a large-ish office from one WAP - but in the other
extreme - you won't need 1:1 for your SOHO!

IIRC the limit on Draytek Vigor 2600We is 50, more on commercial AP's like
3Com, Orinoco etc.

Nope: one base station to many clents. My Cisco 340 Access Point
happily talks to up to 6 PC at once in my home network. Exactly how
many PCs one access point can realistically support depends on their
demand for bandwidth. According to the specs, the 340 can associate
with up to 253 clients - an entire /24 subnet!
