RBR960 device limits on IoT?
Are there any concurrent device limits on the IoT network on the new RBR960? The spec sheet states the mesh system can handle 200 devices, but I am having challenges connecting all of my IoT devices ...
I had the RBK850 and it could not handle my 140 devices. (75 Kasa light switches, 20 ring cameras, and other various IoT devices.
I upgraded to the 960 this week and have the same disconnect issues.
I tried running only 2.4 and then both 2.4 and 5 on the IoT but that didn’t help.
What settings should I have for the IoT network and the network as a whole to get my IOT devices to stop dropping, slow, etc…

Have you turned off AX mode for 2.4Ghz? That helps with compatibility for older 2.4Ghz wireless devices which cannot benefit from AX anyway. I also used to set CTS/RTS Threshold to 2347 for the same reasons, but the latest firmware doesn't make that available anymore.
Your devices disconnecting (dropping) or having connectivity issues (slow) may be due to other reasons than having a lot of them. Do you have too many satellites for your home coverage (if yes, try experimenting with just one satellite and if that helps try reducing power)?
