Model: Archer VR600  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: Archer_VR600V3_1.3.0_0.9.1_up_boot(201122)_2020-11-22_19.49.48

I just purchase the VR600 v3 to replace my Sky Hub, upgraded to the latest firmware. DSL works fine. But I can only connect 32 WiFi clients.

I'm having more than 60 devices including light switch, speakers, etc?
any fix for the issue?

Hey

 

Hve you checked to make sure your DHCP has enough leases for that many clients?  32 seems a strange but logical amount (deterministic binary number).  What actually happens when you hit the 32?  Any specific error pops up?   Also are these on the 2.4 or 5Ghz?

 

I cant comment on the exact amount this will support, however if honest connecting 60 devices to one AP is a huge ask.   I install TP Link Omada EAPs for a living and when we start passing 40 devices we recommend an 2nd AP, given the Omada line is a business grade device which can support 60 connections fairly easily, the VR range is home grade and 60 is a big ask.   Being totally honest with you, I would recommend you start to split your network.  The VR600 v3 supports OneMesh so that might be a consideration for you by adding sub nodes to take the load down.

 

I do have the VR600 v2 myself and I can push 30 devices, but performance will suffer with that many clients.

 

Hopefully one of the TP Link admins will have that answer for you

@Philbert 

my DHCP range from 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.250. Plenty of address space left.

the 32 comes from the connected WiFi clients in the status page. I can have 32 connected but no more. Say I can connect iPhone A but not iPhone B. If I turn off WiFi on iPhone A, iPhone B can connect now and show in the connected client. But if I turn back on WiFi on iPhone A it can't connect now. And the connected clients just stays at 32 but not 33.

 

PS, I planned to use the VR600 to replace my sky hub, which works like charm with 60+ WiFi client
