what would happen if I have to much access points in one location? Also what could cause my router to freez all the time? I have to keep reseting the power to get my router to work again..
Thanks

Too many AP's: it is possible (but difficult) to saturate an area with too many APs. If you have more AP's that overlap each other than available channels, the AP transmissions can interfere with other AP's on the same channel. However for this to occur you would need 13 AP's all within a 100-150 feet of each other and that of course is overkill and I can't see a realistic situation when this would occur.
AS to your router, a little bit more information please:
make, model, internet connection type (DSL, Cable etc), how many people are you running thru the router etc.
