AX4200 -Limit on number of devices?
We have rbr750 with two satellites. We have 65 devices connected, most smart devices. Streaming on 2 firesticks. A couple days ago added 12 new smart "can" lights and now we're having serious issues...

Our guess is these last few devices we added put us over some device limit.
The only "limit" on devices is the number of IP addresses in the subnet (about 250). Several years ago, I saw posts where users described having over 100 devices on the original, much less powerful Orbi RBR50.
The forum has many posts about "issues" on the 750 product. There may even be reports of "beta test" firmware for the 750 that has not been cleared for release to the public but which some users have found solved problems. (I do not have the 750 and do not read those posts clearly. Perhaps someone who does will comment.)
Could you please humor me: Do those 65 devices have extensive descriptions on the Orbi Attached Devices page? Do most of them have reserved IP addresses in the LAN set up table?
On my product, one user documented how creating entries in those tables could cause an integer counter to become too large and wreak havok on his system. (Probably does not apply to your 750, but I'm curious.)
