SMB connection limit
Hello Can anyone tell me whether there is an SMB connection limit for models RN516 and RN102? If so, are they different? Does Netgear have a recommended number of users/connections for each mod...

The formerly second most powerful desktop ReadyNAS (OS6) and the most entry-level ReadyNAS (OS6) ^^
I doubt you'll find precise specs on these.
The datasheets for all ReadyNAS of this generation (RN102/RN104/RN312/RN314/RN316/RN516/RN716) say the same: "Max # Concurrent Connections: 1024"

But that's obviously not accurate.
Both RN102 & RN516 are now old, if you're looking to buy, you should look at RN212 & RN526X (to list only the current "equivalent").
Thanks both for your replies.
We're not looking to buy. We actually have several of each models, and we use the RN102s as on-site emergency backups to the RN516s. Early testing seemed to be fine, but recently when switching to the 102 in a genuine emergency situation, the 102 was unable to cope, for reasons that we are still investigating but not yet certain about. Would your opinion be that using a RN102 to serve an office of up to 60 people is feasible?

No and far from it. The RN102 is not build for that type of workload. You will need an RN312 for that.
Or a RN422. The RN422 is the replacement for the RN312 in our lineup.
