Orbi Pro Wifi 6 Tri-band Mesh Number of Connected Devices

[PB2020]

Morning all,

I am looking to buy an Orbi Pro Wifi 6 Tri-band Mesh solution for the house (Uk) This will help with black spots/ coverage / speed / getting rid of extender etc. 

 But I cannot work out if I need the AX4200 or the AX6000.  The key question is around the number of connected devices. The blurb says........

AX4000 is 40+ Devices. 
AX6000 is 60+ Devices. 

I have 70+ devices in the house but over half are smart lights so do they count as I cannot see them using a lot of bandwidth? I also have my smart TVs hard wired via cat 6 so they are not using the WiFi connect! 

Any feedback would be great. 

Thanks 👍

im pretty sure when they say devices they mean those that actively are using data...iot, just use a connection when triggered via command and that for a quick instance.. unlike a streaming, gaming etc device... that when in use is constantly accessing a connection
