How many device connection at one time on orbi RBK53 plus 2 satellites
How many device ( wireless ) connection at one time does RBK 53 ( with 2 Satellites ) support ? I seached on line, there are difference answers .
1 below link said it can support 50-60 serve...
"Number of devices" is different than number of devices with good performance. Orbi can assign IP addresses to at most 254 devices via DHCP. By tinkering with the subnet mask, devices with fixed IP's can add to that total.
You mention a church WiFi. If the intention is to have a congregation of several hundred all connect to WiFi at the same time, that's not feasible. If you want under 250 at one time and they are not doing very much" (i.e. not streaming video), then Orbi can handle the connections if your internet feed can.
Orbi is intended for residential (not commercial) use. There are community members who have more than 100 devices connected to an Orbi. People routinely mention more than 30-40 devices. I am not aware of any community member who has reported more than 200.
