By connections do you mean users? Regardless of wireless limits, I suspect you will bump into the maximum number of DHCP addresses given out by the router first (x.x.x.2 - x.x.x.254, or 253)? And then limited by DHCP lease time (usually 24 hours). Worst case, if IP leases are not 'given up' by clients, the limit is 253 unique users every rolling 24 hours.
No wireless connections to the router. I have a sky q box and sky told me that 16 was the maximum, anymore and it’ll start causing problems.
in today digital environment, 16 is sooo low. Everything in the house that can be joined by Ethernet, is joined by Ethernet. But, as you can imagine that’s not helpful with 5 of us. 5 mobile phones, iPads ps3 and 4’s it all starts adding up. So wondering if to use the NETGEAR router as DHCP, as sky won’t let me use third party equipment.

Huh? "DHCP"? Are you talking about using the R7000 as a wireless access point (connected by wire to the "a sky q box")? That might help, by spreading the wireless connections to another access point.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "Use the Router as a Wireless Access Point".
So sorry, been away on business. I was thinking of using it as an acsess Pinot, so yes. This is because my satellite company will not let me use another router other than theirs.
