Ok, In setting up wireless I have found a few things on the way. When you are running just a few devices on wireless just about anything works. But when you want to run 30 devices in the same room it turns out not all devices are equal.
I have found access points have processors in them and a slow processor just doesn't cut it when they are trying to service 30 devices. If you are going down this road the first rule its don't get a domestic access point. Spend a few extra dollars and go for the commercial ones. They are more up to the task.
Also I found putting a 2nd access point in the room works well too. When a device is taking too long to hook to the first one as its loaded up they will go looking for another less loaded access point.
And one more thing. Chrome books and 802.11N. Make sure you have your security turned up (WPA, not WEP) or they refuse to connect. G is fine, do anything you want, but with N they refuse to connect. They see the AP but that's it.
