R6350 How many devices can I connect
Hi, I have an R6350 and would like to know how many devices (wifi) I can connect. I have approximately 30 devices connected at 2.4GHz and 8 connected at 5GHz. When I try to connect a new one, ...
So, it means 32 devices at 2.4Ghz and 32 devices at 5Ghz!!! So if I connect a second wifi router (this r6350 connect a second wifi router by ethernet cable), I can double the devices?
If you've separated out the bands and made sure they're not on the same channel.
but again, its not a flagship router, its a pretty base model one.
While it should support up to 32 devices, if they're higher bandwidth devices, you're going to have issues.

Ok, If I understood you, my router is a basic one, and my devices are simple IoT, like a smart switch, or smart lamp, these devices do not require higher bandwidth. So my idea is to connect a second router to increase the number of devices in my network. In my mind I will have 20 devices on my first router and more 20 devices on the second, my thoughts are correct, adding a router increases the device's number even that I sacrifice a little my bandwidth with a low investment.
It should work. But put the 2nd router in AP mode.

Does that increase the number of wifi cliemts it can handle, or does it all feed back to the router?
