Physically, it has one WAN, one LAN port, but I assume you know that. How many devices it can handle throughput wise will depend on how chatty they are, how much bandwidth they use etc. I currently have ~80 devices on my network, only about 10 are wired, the rest are wireless, and have no problems (had similar with the little red one, and while it was only monitoring about half, it only caused a small slowdown with 100M up/down service).

That's certainly impressive.

I have a mere ~20 hosts behind my "base bandwidth" ISP connection (300 Mbps) including a K3s Kubernetes cluster, some wired "clients" (glowing lights of all sorts in my basement Chatsworth 2-post rack) and a number of (dedicated) wireless clients; including two of humans who are VPN'd into work all day.

I've hammered away on a number of enterprise firewall platforms for a couple of decades and tbh, Firewalla has some cool stuff in a small form factor.

Reminds me of early Netscreen and SonicWall days (they both changed the paradigm back then).
