Max devices connected to Orbi mini (RBK22) on 2.4GHz simultaneously
Got Netgear Orbi Mini AC2200 Tri-Band WiFi System, 2-pack (RBK22) from Costco. Have some questions.. 1. I have 10 IoT devices that only connect to 2.4Ghz, plus a few more that needs to be on the sam...
i have my Orbi mini system setup and up n running for about a week now. I tapped internet input from the existing WNR4500 ethernet out but turn WNR4500's wifi off to make sure that all my internet connection will come from new router without trying to switch back and forward between two wi-fi routers, and I am happy to report that everything seems to work fine.
I have 15 devices connected to 2.4Ghz on Orbi satellie without issue. I think i will proceed to remove the WNR4500 in the next few days.
The 4300 is about a ten year old model router so it will have limitation on how many devices can connect to it all at once. Newer generation routers are more capable of handling more devices, especially Orbi since some of the devices can be connected to the satellites and not just the main router.
You can set up reserved IP addresses for your devices. This includes the MAC address the router detects from the device.
Wow.. that's good to know. I'll have them all setup when I receive Orbi mini.
