Session Limit
I have a ER605 router with advertised 150,000 concurrent session limit. is there a way to view the percentage of concurrent session my network is using? I barely use half of my bandwidth and my network became sluggish when there's a lot of wifi users. I suspect I'm hitting the limit of 150,000 sessions.
I've been thinking of buying ER8411 but that router have been elusive. I can't really find anyone selling that router in my country. ER707-M2 could be an alternative but I don't really want it over ER8411 considering the size of my network.

CPU usage is fine. I've been using network tools to monitor my TCP/UDP connections and find out that I could go for 200-350 sessions with average of 270. and that's just for one user. so, if I hit the limit, the connection will be dropped. I'm not even halfway of this network installment. when completed it will serve 12,000+ high school students and and sizeable public users
12,000+ users.. If that's your final destination, I would recommend you contact the local TP-Link team regarding the purchase or request a demo.
As I know, if you plan to support that many users, let's say 12,000 users, and half of them have a second tablet or computer, that would double the network burden.
I think a regular ER8411 is not enough for it. It'd also be hard for the Omada Pro I think. But recommend you get a final consultation about the Pro-level product.
If I were you, I probably consider the server. 12,000 users are an enormous number. I don't think any pre-built routers can carry them. A dedicated server would be the way to do it.

You must be getting DHCP from another source...
Per ER605 can make local network for 500 ip? - Business Community (tp-link.com)
you're stretching that ER605...
It also provides some existing recommendations.
I'm not aware of any reporting on sessions specifically but my network is way smaller and that's never been a concern.
I suspect an elevated session count will manifest itself with high memory and CPU usage on the router.
