    Iot devices don't use much for data and are pretty safe to add. They tend to connect to the lower speed 2.4ghz network.

     

    Its usually 32 devices per band that you can add. (so 64 devices for that device between 2.4ghz and 5ghz)

    The CAX30 is a dual band devices so if you spread your devices out a bit, you've got plenty of room to add more. 

    And the CAX30 is pretty capable in terms of performance so you should be fine to add more devices.
