Re: [H] Max connections on a router?

2009-11-30 Thread Rick Glazier

My router will let me set the number of connections.
In Advanced/system settings on the router itself.
Configure number of concurrent users that can be logged into the router:
I picked 10.

Is this normal for a consumer device, or does it seem this Buffalo  
router is sub-par?  I've got an airport extreme at home and the max  
devices I've had connected at once is 5 or 6 with no problem.

Verizon FIOS, Actiontec M1424-WR Rev.C
One piece optical unit IN basement, (nothing outside house),
then coax to actual router upstairs.
Knowing it was an ISP model,
I never thought the model number would help. (Sorry you had to ask.)

In less than 2 years, I had an older model, AND a newer model.
(I forced Verizon to support WPA2-PSK.)
Verizon says they don't hold up.
I'm thinking of putting the next one on its own UPS (upstairs).

The basement unit has a built-in UPS, but only for itself.

[H] Max connections on a router?

2009-11-29 Thread Brian Weeden
Just got back from thanksgiving with the family.  We had a bunch of  
wifi devices in the house (laptops, iPhones, itouch), maybe 8 all told.


My Dad has a Buffalo N router that's about a year old and it was  
having problems.  It seemed like only a couple  of devices could be  
connected at the same time.  Other devices would see a timeout from  
the router while trying to connect.  Once connected the bandwidth was  
decent.

Hmm, not sure on that one,

but my lowly Wireless G NetGear router supports 6-7 (or more) connections all 
the time...

You wouldn't think that 8 connections would be an issue...
