Number of Device Limitations using EX7000 WiFi Extender

Hi Folks, we have a EX7000 WiFi Range Extender that is only allowing around 10-12 connections (all Lenovo tablets) and when we reach this limit, we cannot log on any more units (we have 16 in total)....

I know this has been several months, but I am having a similar problem. I use the EX6200 Range Extender in Access Point mode. 

I can't find anywhere in my upstream modem where I can change the number of connections and I was curious if in general you can tell me where you found it on yours, as most modems use basically the same layouts and terminology.

I know this isn't much to go on so I really appreciate your time and any ideas you might have.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave, I found my problem to be the host modem supplied by the ISP.  It was set on a default of 16 connections, online they changed it to 32 which fixed my issue.  The EX7000 can extend up to 64 connections.

 

Good luck, Peter
