What is the max number of supported WiFi devices for the new Nighthawk AX12?
Hello,
I know that the new Nighthawk AX12 hasn't been released yet but I was wondering if someone here could tell me what is the number of maximum WiFi devices it can support, since it's aimed to v...
12 Stream AX WiFi—4X Better Performance Twelve WiFi spatial streams - four in the 2.4GHz band, and eight in the 5GHz band offer four times the device capacity as compared to typical 2x2 AC WiFi. AX WiFi also supports sending up to eight multi-user MIMO transmissions at a time, up from four for AC WiFi. This results in a significantly improved network capacity and benefits the performance of all legacy devices.

DarrenM, you didn't answer the question that was in the subject.

You said "This results in a significantly improved network capacity and benefits the performance of all legacy devices.". That means nothing in terms of the question.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the response. Question is how many devices? Older Netgear were in the 32 device range as I recall. Would hope these are higher. My Unifi AP is rated at 200. I will probably never have that need.
Thank you, guys. Yeah, I never got a proper answer to my question. It is what it is.
I'm now looking elsewhere, at proper enterprise gear (UAP-AC-HD / US-8-60W / USG).
I need something with more meat on its bones for a flawless connection of ~80 WiFi devices.My Uifi AP's are rated at 200 devices per AP.
Not a cheap solution and requires more then buy a router off the shelf knowledge but does just work for me. Requires more knowledge also.
