What is the default maximum number of simultaneous connections on RouterOS?

The default maximum number of simultaneous connections on RouterOS is 4096. This limit refers to the maximum number of TCP/UDP connections that the router can handle at one time. This capability is essential for ensuring that the router can manage traffic efficiently, especially in environments with numerous devices or users.

Having a higher limit allows for better scalability and performance under load, which is particularly important for home networks, businesses, and larger systems, where multiple users may be connected concurrently. While some settings and configurations can modify this limit or optimize connection handling, the default plays a critical role in balancing resource management and network functionality across various use cases.
