How to emulate a large number of WIFI wireless clients from one wireless network card?

Question

Computer networks

The essence of the task is to test the maximum number of possible connections to the access point and also the degradation of performance with an increase in the number of wireless clients.
It is clear that I do not have a dozen laptops / smartphones, so the idea arose to find software that emulates a large number of wireless clients.
Colleagues, I ask you to help with the answer. Or suggest another method of testing.
