Trying to connect 6 Gemini clients to HR54
I've replaced all Genie HR54 clients with Gemini Satellite Clients. Regardless of wired or wireless or all wireless, I can see all clients connected on the Wireless Video Bridge with "excellent" signals. I can see all Gemini clients connected to the internet/server via the green light on the front.
Problem is, I can only get 4 clients to connect to the Genie at once. Like playing a game of whac-a-mole. If I reset the Genie, the first 4 clients I turn on are the 4 that are listed in the network details as "connected" and truly the last two just keep flashing that annoying circular status graphic and never connects.
Regardless of what order I start 4 devices, the last two won't connect. I understand that the HR54 can connect up to 8 genie clients even though only 3 clients can be on at once.
Is there something about the 4k nature of the Gemini devices that limit the number of Gemini clients the HR54 maxes out at?
I need 6 active clients. I need to figure out what the my real potential is. How many Geminis + Genie clients can connect 6 at once.
Thanks

The HR54 can only stream to 3 clients/Gemini at a time so only 4 TVs can be in use at the same time unless you can add H25 receivers. Only the HS17 can stream to 7 TVs but its a client only system. The Gemini is a client.

I understand that the Genie TV and 3 clients can be used at the same time. No issue.
The problem is I'm trying to CONNECT 6 Gemini clients to the Genie (not all to be used simultaneously), but all 6 won't connect to the Genie so I can't use the 3 in combo I want to use. Only 4 will connect.

Thanks Ace, I can't use the Genie 2, too many receivers, HR24s in addition to the HR54. I guess the Geminis are so new not a lot of info. I CAN SAY that 4 seem to work fine... It's #5 and #6 that's no bueno. Since the HR54 theorically can handle up to 8 Clients, that the Geminis, being 4k devices are taking the network space of two Genie clients... thus why 4 will work but 5 or 6 won't?

More likely it is the WVB that is having the problem it may not have been made to handle that traffic as it was made before there was 4K. the one built into the HS17 is newer.
