My orbi mesh router only allows about 14 devices to connect
I am currently running firmware V2.6.1.36. My orbi is in router mode with a direct connection to my cable internet. It only seems to allow about 14 devices to connect. if i am at 14 and a new device connects one of the old devices gets booted off. The old device is not allowed to reconnect until the router is rebooted, then the entire cycle starts again. The internet works fine for the devices that are allowed to stay connected.

what are you looking at to determine devices are being booted off?
Are they actually disconnecting and becoming unusable?
How long has this been a problem?
Any changes to your network?

- they are iot devices that i can no longer reach, my server, 2 thermostats, my garage door controller, and some others i can not think of at the moment
- i am running a server that is still running, but i can not reach it
- the devices are not under my manage devices tab, but they are listed as known devices
Are they actually disconnecting and becoming unusable?
- the devices are still functional, but they can not connect.
How long has this been a problem?
- since i got the orbi mesh, but i did not have as many devices then so it was less noticable
Any changes to your network?
- no network changes
Deviice list?
app or web login?
