Hi there,I'm trying to find an SMB grade router to replace the one we currently have (TP-Link Archer MR400 w/ 4G LTE), in order to support more devices.Some context:Currently, we already have around ~60 devices and we're starting to see problems with some devices being unreachable once we add new ones to the network.These are IoT devices (Shelly1 and Shelly Pro1), so the network traffic, while busy (mainly MQTT keep alive messages and similar payloads), shouldn't be the actual problem, rather it seems we're just hitting the maximum number of supported devices connected simultaneously.We have two locations (~400m distance) that share the same network. The IoT devices are located in two cabinets in each site.On the main site, we have a mix of Shelly1's connected via Wi-Fi and Shelly Pro1's connected by cable (RJ45) to the router.On the second site we only have Shelly1's, which connect to an access point that is then connected via cable to the router in the main site.Technically, most devices connect to the router by cable, rather than Wi-Fi.Given we'll be adding more devices (cable only, no Wi-Fi) in the near future, we want something that could handle from 100 to ~200 devices.I found related questions here, here and here, but didn't quite help.Could you share your experiences in similar scenarios and what you have used?I appreciate your time.Cheers,Q
