Realistic Number of Clients from one 802.11n AP

Hi,

The subject says it all.

Can we expect an increased number of (radio) clients capacity per AP if
we move from 802.11g to 802.11n access points...?

We don't need more speed than 1Mbps so I think more of scalability (for
users withvariations in signal strength) than speed increase.

What are the preferred / most popular 802.11n routers/aps with
replacable firmware?

As most of our students have 802.11n nics now I wondered if we would
gain any speed benefit for them by replacing our APs with ...n type for
those who are too many sharing on AP. See the 'Share bandwidth
evenly...' thread.
