How many devices can R7960P support?

My R7960P connects to the internet, but I have lots of drops of my internet connection, different devices (iPad, Intel Laptop). Distance from router does not matter, three feet or 50 feet with wall between device and router. I have more devices now than I did before I started have this issue.

    How many devices in total do you have connected all at once? 

     

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

     

    What channels are you using? 


    Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
