MR70-MS70

[Nick22]

I'm working for a call center & we have 2 MR70 with 2 MS70 & about 60 computers. Our internet comes into & connects to 1 of the MR70 & have a line running to the other MR70. We are running a very fast fiber line about 300mbps & when all computers are running & on calls the internet speed gets very slow like congested. My question is can these routers handle this amount of clients.

However if all running and doing something, streaming, surfing and such. You may see lag. If your doing this and more, you may need to see a better class router with more client side handling capabilities. Nighthawk MESH is mostly a home class system with typical clients of 30-40.

Both fed from the same modem/router/ONT? 

60 computers hardly qualifies as a domestic network of the sort that the MR70 is designed to support.

I inherited this position from another. Things were bad but getting better. I'm updating the system.

Any progress on this?

Yes I got the routers separated & things are working much better. We will be upgrading in the future as we are getting quotes for a better system. Thanks

Is MU-MIMO really worth turning on. I'm getting mixed feelings about turning on the option from what I read. OFDMA is on & BEAMFORMING is also on. With the amount of computers on the system (just about 30 each). Just looking for suggestions. Thanks

I'd base your feelings on weather it works or not for you. Try it out and if it's doesn't work or make it better you can disable it. MIMO is mainly for devices that have MIMO support.
