Wi-Fi protocol supports 13 communication channels; how do these channels relate to the volume of devices you can have on the network and the quality of the connection? Read on learn more about Wi-Fi channel usage.

超级用户读者Diogo需要对Wi-Fi频率通道的功能做一点说明:
As ********* reference, 802.11 standards (which defines Wi-fi networks) tell us that wireless networks works with 13 different channels on OFDM (depending on the release, a, b, g or n). From this I was wondering, if I have more than 13 machines on the same room (one room work for example with 50 notebooks), it would be impossible to connect all of them to internet at the same time? I mean, each device would use one specific channel to communicate with the acess point, limiting the acess point to 13 permanent connecti***.
How does all this stuff really work?

几个超级用户贡献者回答了Diogo的问题。乔尔·科霍恩回答说:
First of all, the U.S. only allows 11 of those 13 channels. Additionally, the original wifi developers made a mistake, of sorts, and signals within channels bleed over to their neighbors… there are really only 3 channels you should use: 1, 6 and 11.
That said, you can have far more than 3 devices on wifi at a time, because devices will share time on each channel. It’s just like having someone listen to several conversati*** taking place at once in a crowded room: not everyone is talking all the time. If two people talk at the same time, the listener may have to ask one or both to repeat themselves. The more people you add to the room, the less total information you can pass around, because people will c***tantly interrupt one another at an increasing rate. A good rule of thumb is around 25 devices per channel for casual browsing, but this can drop significantly for non-casual traffic like gaming, p2p file sharing, video streaming, and large file transfers.
In networking parlance, we say a wifi cell is unswitched and half-duplex, making it very sensitive to collisi***. Wired networks typcially don’t have these weaknesses (switched and full-duplex), and so while wifi is a “good enough” technology to use at home, serious networks always like to push as many people to a wired connection as possible.
I run the campus network at a **all college, and it’s sad to see how many new students arrive this year who have never used a wire for network access. They think the notion of needing a wire is quaint, and don’t understand the physical limitati*** involved, and why 80 devices (nearly 2 per student on average) in dorm space the size of their parents’ house doesn’t work so well. Re-educating them about this is hard.
Kurtnelle强调了一些频率通道注意事项:
Just adding my 2 cents:
To answer your question in short: You could have thousands of devices on your network; theoretically. All of the 13 computers (devices) will be able to access the internet at the same time.
