AX86U how many is too many wifi device connections?

[willyburz]

Just wondering, and if the AX6000 handles more connected devices better?

 

[L&LD]

Around ~32 wireless devices per band before performing worse.

Assuming that is "active" devices @L&LD ?

 

[L&LD]

Yes, 'active'. You can have many more devices connected when not doing speed or latency intensive networking and still be 'okay'. But somewhere past ~32 client devices, a performance drop can be noticed (by some users).

 

[BreakingDad]

Think I'm around 40 devices total, but most of those are not active all the time.

 

[L&LD]

Are all those 40 devices on a single band? Or over both the 2.5GHz and the 5GHz bands?

split over both bands and ethernet/homeplugs

That's what I couldn't remember, if it was around 32 total or per 2.4 & 5...I'm probably around 32 or so, but simple stuff is on 2.4, and all else on 5ghz. Pretty split.
