Hi configured both WLAN (SSIDS WANDA and fura), both with 2.4 & 5 GHz, but the maximum clients that router accepts is 32. Firmware is up to date.

My network has around 40-50 devices

    Hi @atroya

    FWA505 WiFi client is up to 64 devices from the data sheet.

    The first photo shows currently one 31 devices connecting to the WiFi, and the second photo shows you have set 32 static DHCP IP. What issue did you encounter?

    Hi @atroya

    In addition, the maximum number of clients supported is listed as 64, and is divided by the band (2.4G Max 32,5G Max 32).

    According to your screenshot, the number of 2.4G clients is 30.

    Hi Melen,

    Thanks for your support.

    It is possible that at the time of the capture, some device was disconnected.


    Currently, in order to connect all my devices, I had to set up an access point with a separate subnet.
    I cannot demonstrate that more than 32 devices can connect directly to the FA505 router, since it will never exceed that limit.
    However, I can show you the current situation (at the same screenshot you can see LAN, WLAN and the separate network with a old Linksys 3G router conected to FWA505 ethernet 192.168.0.152)

    And if you try to increase the clients on FW505 control panel, an error appears:
