Doesnt allow more than 10 devices
I have the nighthawk RAX70. Everything I find online says this model can handle anywhere between 20 and 25 devices (depending on the source) Mine seems to boot a device off every time we get to 10 ...
Thanks for the reply.
Okay so this nighthawk is the only router. The latest firmware version is v1.1.0.88
As I'm typing this reply our Google home "woke up" and my cell which I'm typing on got booted off. Gives me the little exclamation mark and nothing works. But the internet works fine on every other device.
This issue only started since we got the Google home. I'm assuming because we added another device to the network.
I have 2 smart tvs, a laptop, desktop, ps3, ps4, iPad, Samsung phone, iPhone, robot vacuum, printer and now a Google home. Not all of them on at the same time. I shut things off when not in use. Do I just have too much for this nighthawk to handle?

I asked about the modem in front of the router. (It may be a "gateway" or an Optical Network Terminator (ONT). Make and model?
And unless you have a special version that is not firmware for the RAX70.

Why do you make that assumption?
Have you looked into the logs of your router?
- No. I don't know how to look into the logs.
I don't have another modem in front of it. I have fiber internet. It comes into the house and has a little white box the size of a wallet. I believe it is just a power supply for the box on the outside of the house. From that the ethernet cable runs into the internet input on the nighthawk. - The nighthawk is the R6350. I was looking into buying the RAX70 and copy and pasted the wrong model number. My apologies.

Pretty basic. Nothing like the RAX70 which may well support all the devices that you expect to support.
How many clients can you connect wirelessly to a NETGEAR router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
The R6350 should support more than 10 devices, but who knows how many connections your wifi clients really use?
- Fair enough. I think I'll just upgrade to the rax70 then. Appreciate the help
