AX6000 - total number of simultaneous connected devices?

Hello.

 

I am considering a purhase of the Netgear AX6000 WiFi 6 mesh system for my home, as I upgrade my home connectivity to 1Gbps fiber.  I currently have 102 devices on my home network (Nest WiFi 5 mesh), and this is working well with 4 x APs (one root, three satellities).

 

My question is, how many devices (simultaneosuly in use) can the AX6000 system support?

 

Note:  This is NOT a bandwidth question.  Nor is it about the default or maximum IP subnet/mask size I can set in the AX6000 user interface.  It is more about how many MAC, ARP, NAT, etc. entries the AX6000 mesh system can handle simultaneously.  I want to make sure before I purchase the AX6000 that it can not only hanldle this number of devices, but also scale up in the future (could be 120-150 devices in a year or two - my home network is ever-growing with IoT, etc).

 

I cannot seem to find this data anywhere in the product manual, hence asking he question here.

 

Cheers,

Dave
