Hello, I need to know the maximum number of wifi devices I can connect to AC750 EX3700 WiFi Network Extender.
The problem is not the bandwitdh because devices are wifi controlled led bulbs, so very few data transferred. The problem is to keep all them (up to 25) permanently connected.
I know some low cost wifi routers limit to 16 or less devices (bad...)
I see Netgear wifi home routers can connect up to 32 devices (good!)
Does anyone know if even the wifi extenders like EX3700 support up to 32 devices?
Thank you!!!

Hi MauMen - There is no software limitation. This shouldn't be an issue as long as the lights are within range and receiving IP's.

Hello Maumen - Factors such as the type of devices connected, distance from extender, and building structure play a role. You may have up to 8-15 clients as it varies. You may want to check out some of our tri-band nighthawk mesh extenders.

Hi Christian, thanks for your prompt answer.
The connected devices are wireless controlled LED lights working with 2.4Ghz wifi band only (Magic Home wifi led drivers). They get simple commands like turn light on/off, dim, set color... so there is absolutely no bandwidth problem.
I need to connect 25 of them in a room, few meters from the wifi access point.
I found some wifi routers from other vendors are limited to 16 devices.
I found Netgear declares his home wifi routers support up to 32 devices.
What I ask is simple: I need to know if EX3700 wifi extender/access point has a sw limitation on the number of simultaneus wifi connected devices, using 2.4Ghz band only.
Thanks!
Best Regards
Mau
