It will increase the CPU utilization on the AP, and as always with WiFi, decrease the throughput on the AP. WiFi is not a full duplex medium, and only one client can talk at a time. If there are too many clients trying to communicate with the same AP (BSSID) then there will be a lot of interference leading to a lot of re-transmits. You can find the "Practical" client support on the APs details on arubanetworks.com.

Have you checked the client limit setting on the SSID? By default it is set to 64.
wlan ssid-profile <ssid profile>
max-clients <number of clients>

Hi Team,
I have Aruba 515 AP in our production network i am observing after 60 users latched to the AP the next users or most of the users are facing disconnection issue continuously as per the datasheet the maximum users can be latched is 250 but after 60 users we found this issue.
Can anyone tell me what will be the issue of this.
Thanks
