RAX50 AX5400
Just upgraded from C7000 version 1 combo to this router and I expected a bit more. Actually a slight reduction in speed. But my question is does the claim "supports up to 25 devices" limit connection to that number or what? I had and have 23 including the non wi-fi devices.
sorry, its only worth it if your speeds are LESS THAN 250mbps.
So if you have gig service, leave it disabled.

where are you seeing "supports up to 25 devices"?
Do you have any AX devices? you won't really see a speed increase moving from AC to AX unless you have an AX device. It does have more consistent speed because its able to broadcast to more than 1 device at a time but it isn't necessarily going to be faster.

You can have more than 25 connected device. Its basically just what their using to classify when to move to a bigger/better device.
IoT devices and lower bandwidth devices aren't going to use much data and hardly impact your system.
for instance, I was running a RBK53 system with over 50 wireless devices. But there wasn't much impact because around 15-20 of those were switches/bulbs/etc.
