The AP devices won't count to the 32 device band limit.

Is that won't count in the 32 device limit or won't add to the 32 device limit?

From what it sounded like the OP is connecting an access point to the router and wondering if the devices on the access points wireless will count against the 32 device limit per band on the router. (or i'm misreading it).
If thats the case, it won't count as one of the 32 devices that the router is limited to on its own 2.4ghz/5ghz bands.
