It depends on the access point. Some entry level routers/access points
can only handle a very small number (8-10).

Actual simultaneous usage by the different clients is more important than
the mere number of clients. It all comes down to available bandwidth.

This is a common enough question that Google will supply you with a lot of
info. See, e.g.,
