      I have 55 devices on my network.  I would like to manage the DHCP reservation list for ~45 of the devices.  My current router supports only 26 reserved DHCP IP addresses.  It would be great to know the maximum number that the Orbi supports, as this will be a deciding factor for me.  Thanks.

        i see no sense setting every device to a reserved ip address , sure for those devices that need a fixed ip address for port forwarding etc but not all devices need that

         

        the other reason not to include everything is it does put more load on the cpu and ram as all that stuff demands cpu time

         

        there is no security gain in having everything reserved ether so no real performnce or logical reason to reserve everything
