How Many Simultaneous Connections Can The Orbi WiFi Possibly Support (For Running A Webserver)
Hello, I have been running a local webserver off of my Netgear Orbi system (via portforwarding). What's happening is that it will run fine for a while, then it will start to fail. The software seems to geerate no crash warnings, and I and their tech support have suggested that my web server is generating the maximum number of connections that my Orbi system can hande, causing it to cut the connection, though I am still able to visit websites when this happens. My web server can get up to several thousand connections to it at once, the sent data never too much too slow my connection down, the allowed connection speed is about 1mb per second. I am wondering, for this purpose, about how many connections to it is the Orbi system capable of handelig at once? Thank you.

Can you Remote Desktop to Windows Server via Orbi RBR50 router?
Dear Community, I would be extremely grateful if a member could please answer this question and if it is possible please advise how to achieve. I have been struggling for two weeks and exhausted every avenue. I have a windows Server 2012 R2 that Id like to place on my home network and access away from home. I use an Orbi RBR50 with one additional satellite. The server is configured correctly for Remote Desktop as it was working when in a business location previously. I can also connect to the server using RDC locally through my LAN. I have enabled remote access in the advanced Orbi settings and configured port forwarding on port 3389 to the server on a static LAN address. I can see ports 80 and 3389 are open through a web checker and can ping the the WAN IP address revieving 4 packers back. However, when trying to RDC away from home RDC is unable to connect to the server login screen? Any ideas please? Shacksie70
