Model: Deco X20  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.2.5 Build 20240720 Rel. 66739

So, my setup which involves 5 of these, allows only a max of 50 devices to be connected anytime!!! I verified by adding another device and I was not allowed to. Then I removed one of my devices and then tried again, and I was able to add it!

 

The Deco X20 comes advertized with 150 devices capacity! What gives?!!!

  @iyerland Indeed, that is what I meant, and it should not be the cause of the issue.

 

What do you mean by "removed one of my devices"?

 

What is the exact symptom when you attempt connecting an additional device?

  @yves_b So, you see nothing wrong in what I shared with you?

 

I suspected that number of online clients never went beyond 50! So, to verify my suspicions, I deleted a profile from the app and shut it down. And I re-attempted to connect my device and was able to! Earlier, my device would keep on trying, without any success!  No visible clues as to why! It went on for 30 minutes and still not connect, till I disconnected one of my other device, deleted its profile and shut it down, so as not to reconnect!

 

Furthermore, when I googled this, got a response that each device can support a max of 10 devices! Since I had 5 x20's that made sense that it capped out at 50!
