How many devices can we connect to a R7000?
I have been adding devices to my network and am currently at 18 total. I am moving to Apple products and will be adding several more. Does anyone know what the limit is for number of devices supported?
- 32 wireless clients per frequency band, for a total of 64 clients. Reference: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24043/~/how-many-clients-can-you-connect-wirelessly-to-a-netgear-router%3F

I am trying to hard wire everything I can but that does leave to many wireless clients connected thus causing some congestion. Maybe I should invest in a R8000 and use my R7000 as an AP. This would give me a lot of bandwidth to support many clients at full speed simultaneously. BUT I would bet that there is a total limit on the number of clients that can be supported by the DHCP server. Much less than 254 clients.

Or get a second R7000 to use as an AP. Cheaper and more stable..
