1. Start from device count, not floor area
Count the devices that will be associated at once — laptops, phones, tablets, scanners, and IoT — rather than the number of people. In most offices the device count is two to three times the headcount.
Manufacturer client ratings describe what the hardware can associate, not what will feel fast. Lysora rates the L7 at 511 clients, but a comfortable working density per access point in an office is far lower; use the rating as a ceiling, not a target.
