How many devices / clients can concurrently connect to RBK53 before degradation
How many devices / clients can concurrently connect to RBK53 before degradation, such as ping lagging. I've heard around 40 devices. That would be enough for me if that's the case. Can anyone confirm...

Here is a good answer on this subject from CrimpOn https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/RBR20-Router-Number-of-connected-devices-possible/m-p/1837806/highlight/true#M78444

I should point out an error in my earlier response (link above). IP address 192.168.1.250 appears to be "reserved" for Orbi devices themselves. It is used, for example, when using TFTP to force firmware onto a device. So, I think the maximum theoretical number of devices is more like 249.
