So far it seems to have "guts" similar to the dual core AMD gateways we use in stationary locations managing up to 200 simultaneous connections.
I haven't tested it in a 200 connection situation, but I expect it could handle the traffic. For now it will be used to manage less than 50 simultaneous connections, in a limited bandwidth (cellular 3G and 4G) connection to the Internet application.
