(XR 700 gaming router) Phone wifi connection
Hello,
I am Alan, I recently bought aXR700 gaming router for my office ,
How many mobile devices can XR700 be connected with at the same time ?
My company have around 150 employees , most of them are not able to connect to the wifi using their phone (1x of 150 employees can connect to the wifi)
please help

I think you'd need to disable Smart Connect and have some use 2.4GHz and others use 5GHz. Do keep in mind this router is generally for household gamers not for a big office so I'm not sure how it'd function in this scenario.

That many devices, you may wan to get a Wifi extender to help off load some of the devices being connected to the router. A EX8000 would be first try.
Placed out at 30 feet distances from the router.
FYI, the XR series is really not meant for a office or business environment. So it may not work well for your needs.
