How do I set up more than 256 devices on my Alien Mesh Network.
-
Is there a way to have more than 256 devices on an Alien Mesh Network or do I need a more serious Router?
I currently have 4 Aliens Meshed together so processing bandwidth is not an issue at present.

The Max client count is 120, so in order to get there, you might have to break them into two separate Mesh Networks. I am running the Alien, in Bridge Mode behind a UDMP, but I don't have that many clients. You might have a look at that, or a combination of the two as I described.
You can check this out, and the support forums. It's not nearly as polished as the Alien, but with latest beta software it is tolerable. They are getting there, but there is a ways to go.

@unseenone Thanks for this. The UDMPro is on my shopping list however I am sure it will get a refresh soon so holding out until i have no choice. Also waiting to see how the Unifi Wifi6 devices play out.

Hi @Stephen-Foster-0 - UniFi Network Dream Machine Pro SE (SWX-UDMPROSE) hit the FCC site about 10 days or so ago
A datasheet is actually already floating around that was left unprotected with some discussion here...

@Derek-Saville Don't we wish they would fix the software first LoL
