Set the Maximum Number of Wi-Fi Devices

You can enter the maximum number of Wi-Fi devices that are allowed to connect to the gateway at
the same time.
If your network is having performance issues, you might want to allow fewer Wi-Fi devices to
connect to your gateway at the same time, or change the maximum number of devices that can
connect to either the Main Wi-Fi or Guest Wi-Fi networks at the same time. (When Guest Wi-Fi is
turned on, the maximum number of Wi-Fi devices is shared between Main Wi-Fi and Guest Wi-Fi.)
Note: Your gateway is factory preset to allow a maximum of 64 Wi-Fi devices
Note: If you change the Max Wi-Fi Devices value, the Main Wi-Fi and Guest Wi-Fi values
automatically adjust to match the new total.
