RBK753 from Costco

I have been having nothing but issues with this mesh setup. I have a typical 2020 smarthome with about 80+ devices (bulbs, FireTV, cameras, speakers, assistants, phones, printer, etc) and even with 1 Fire TV streaming, I see more lag than I did with my Asus Mesh (AC68U) with just one mesh node compared to the 3 Orb nodes. I've read that this mesh network can handle 40 devices (250 max) before you experience slowdowns. What I can't seem to find is this:

Does the RBK750 support OFDMA?
Is it 40 connections PER NODE or total?
Is there a way to have the nodes handoff clients based on signal strength to a particular node?
Where are the finer firewall settings?

Thanks in advance!
Jesse
