R8500 - Does it support 4K streaming

I just bought the new R8500. Are there any known issues with it?  With 20 attached devices and two 4K television I wanted to make sure it didn't bog down like my other one.

    Very high quality 4K streaming shouldn’t need more than about 40Mbps, so even over a single gigabit link there should be plenty of capacity there, I’m not sure you would see any benefit at all from an aggregated switch connection.

I bought this router as soon as it is available in the market. It is a very good upgrade from netgear R7000. This router is huge and internet speed is very consistent and no issues in wifi connectivity. I am getting close to 200 mbps in WIFI on 5G mode and 300+ mbps in wired mode.

 

i have connected more than 15 devices and it is running without any glitch. This router is one of the must buy item for users looking for better speed and connectivity.
