(XR 700 gaming router) Phone wifi connection

Hello,

 

I am Alan, I recently bought aXR700 gaming router for my office ,

How many mobile devices can XR700 be connected with at the same time ?

 

My company have around 150 employees  , most of them are not able to connect to the wifi using their phone (1x of 150 employees can connect to the wifi)

please help

In theory, you should be able to have them all connect but what is the issue with them connecting exactly? I think you'd need to disable Smart Connect and have some use 2.4GHz and others use 5GHz. Do keep in mind this router is generally for household gamers not for a big office so I'm not sure how it'd function in this scenario.

That many devices, you may wan to get a Wifi extender to help off load some of the devices being connected to the router. A EX8000 would be first try. 

Placed out at 30 feet distances from the router.

 

FYI, the XR series is really not meant for a office or business environment. So it may not work well for your needs.
