An InfWMN is a hierarchical network consisting of mesh clients, mesh routers and gateways. The mesh routers form a wireless mesh infrastructure to which the mesh clients are connected through the use of star topology. The previous analytical solutions have only investigated the asymptotic per-client throughput capacity of either single-channel InfWMNs or multi-channel InfWMNs under conditions in which each infrastructure node (i.e. wireless routers and gateways), has a dedicated interface per-channel. The results of previous analytical studies show that there are quite few studies that have addressed the more practical cases where the number of interfaces per-node is less than the number of channels. In this paper, we derive an original analysis of the asymptotic per-client throughput capacity of multi-channel InfWMNs in which the number of interfaces per-infrastructure node, denoted by m, is less than or equal to the number of channels, denoted by c. Our analysis reveals that the asymptotic per-client throughput capacity of multi-channel InfWMNs has different bounds, which depend on the ratio between c and m. In addition, in the case that m<c, there is a reduction in the capacity of the InfWMN compared to the case in which c = m. Our analytical solutions also prove that when $${\frac{\text{c}}{\text{m}}=\Omega\left({\frac{{\rm N}_g^2}{{\rm N}_{\rm r}}}\right)}$$ , where Ng and Nr denote the number of gateways and mesh routers respectively, gateways cannot effectively increase the throughput capacity of the multi-channel InfWMNs.
