Hello,
I have a 50 MB fiber connection with an RT-AC86U router (currently with the latest version of merlin at the moment) and I am having connection problems with my devices. The truth is that I have enough; In addition to the 4 computers that are used in my house normally, one nas, 4 mobile phones and other gossip such as video game consoles, cleaning robot and the odd thing that escapes my memory at the moment, I have a increasing number of "Internet of Things" (IoT) devices connected (16 at the moment).
I never get these devices connected all at the same time, there are always some that cannot be connected to the network. I have doubts about whether the problem comes from the number of maximum Wi-Fi connections that the router can support or perhaps from saturation of total connections. In the event that the router had a maximum of supported Wi-Fi connections,
I have read that this problem would occur only if the devices are connected via DHCP, but I assign these devices an IP manually and the problem still occurs. I have also read what I was commenting before the router could collapse due to having so many concurrent connections.
I don't have much knowledge in communications and that's why I raise this problem that I have in this forum.
I would like to CLARIFY once and for all where the problem is:
* Is the router's Wi-Fi connection capacity problem independent of whether they occur via DHCP or not?
* Is it a router saturation problem?
* What may be the cause of these problems?
* Is there any solution?
Thank you very much and sorry for the extension of the post.
