    Hello,

    I am wondering about wireless.

         For wireless devices, the claim is 32/radio.

      That says "per band", but some newer models have more than one radio per
      band.

         Exactly what kind of trouble are you expecting?

       

         I would not expect the wireless-device limit to be related to the
      DHCP lease time.  I'd expect the actual connection to be forgotten
      pretty quickly after one side disappears, but I know nothing.

         I'd run the experiment.  I'd trust actual behavior over any wisdom
      you might find here.

        The trouble is I am using this router on the factory and many of phones 100+ are being connected to this router. So I wonder the max connection and lease time.
