How many concurrent connections can Pirate Box support?

Hi. Searching for information on how many concurrent streaming connections I can expect with a Pi 3. Assuming I have a number of people connecting with phones or tablets to listen to music - how many streams could I realistically expect to host?

Thanks!

Hi,
Theoretically connection limit is about 250 Clients. But this is theoretical.

It totally depends what the clients are doing. It makes big difference between music streaming and video streaming.

The RPi WiFi has something around 150Mbit, that is not much. In addition, it is a shared medium...

anyway, enough bla bla. I guess you can count something between 5 and 30 clients who are actively working on the rpi
