Orbi max clients

Can someone clarify the maximum number of clients supported? I read from the product announcement that the Orbi 970 series "supports up to 200 simultaneous devices".

 

A few questions:

 

1. Is the 200 simultaneous across all satellites/router?

2. Default LAN DHCP range allows for ~250+ IPs.  What happens if/when I have more than 200 clients on the network?  I assume there's no hard limit?

 

Thanks as always for the knowledge sharing.

      Thanks.  That KB article helps, though it now raises the question as to why the "Pro" system allows for 512+ clients and the consumer Orbi allows for 250+.  Not a big deal for me either way yet - currently sitting at about 60 devices on my LAN at any given time, and probably have only hit 75 maximum concurrent users peak.

        Pro is tuned more for business class which may have more devices to work with. Home class usually won't see much more than 50-100 Devices on average.
