Alien Q's maximum simultaneous wifi clients
-
Just ordered an Alien and two questions:
How fast is shipping from Amplifi?
I have a many devices ranging from Apple stuff, Windows stuff, Raspberries, and a bunch of Homekit smart home stuff, bulbs, cameras---maybe 40-50 wifi clients in all so far--it's been a problem with my Nighthawk router.... How should I set it all up with the Alien? Put Homekit on it's own SSID or something?
Thanks

@jim-hoff I would start off with configuring your network without expanding any of the additional networks (unless you would like your IoT devices isolated on the guest network) Then from there expand the additional SSID's as needed for compatibility.
-
How many devices can the Alien handle? Like 20 plus 40 homekit devices all on 1 SSID?
-
@jim-hoff The number of devices theoretically is higher than that, but realistically it all depends on bandwidth consumption and network performance provided by an ISP. So I don't have a one size fits all answer for this, but I can say we have multiple users who have more than 50+ devices on one network.
-
@jim-hoff I have 29 and no issues.
-
Currently have 52 clients on the Alien with no issue.

52 sounds great!
