Use a switch that has 50 ports.

or get 3 24 ports..
that way you can expand..not rely on 1 switch, can always fail over to another IF one should fail, yea you lose a few machines..but its better than losing all!

or..get an aruba switch..say aruba 800 and get it configured with 4 APs..simple :)

If you're talking 50 wireless clients, you need multiple WAP's if you expect anything close to broadband performance with all of them connected.
