Gotta say if it can handle 100 devices at once that is pretty wild!

Yep. I see more and more home users having 50+ or more IoT devices.

Are there devices that will see a significant performance improvement over the current model? I don't think I have any. This seems like leading edge overkill.

I guess the appeal would be for people like myself looking to upgrade (and future proof) their network. Price is a bit steep mind you!
But yeah, you are right, its overkill right now as few devices can make the most of the hardware.
