How many devices

I have over 18 devices connected wirelessly. Can the Nighthawk handle this and still allow me to play games lag free.

    Depends on what each devcie is doing when there all connected at one time. Are they ALL online at the same time or at different times? 

    Might be best to off load some devices to a wifi extender connected to the XR router. I use a EX7700 with mine. 

  • It should be able to - it's serioulsy beast hardware that can easliy handle 100+ devices. And DumaOS has all the features you need to reduce lag.

     

    The only issue you might run into is wireless issues if you have a load of devices all using the Internet and you are gaming wirelessly too. It should work fine, just a heads up.
