Sounds like I'm lucky as is.
10 lights, 2 Chromecasts (older 2.4only models) Ac controller, 2 switches, dehumidifier and air purifier on the 2.4ghz band, so 17 devices
The other 5 are cabled computers or 5ghz casting devices.
What I want to know is: If I plug another router into the current one, can I put say 8 of those devices listed above on the new router, halfing the load on the original router?
or is there some sort of bottleneck. I had an inkling at it being down to how devices are assigned Ip's
I set static IPs for the things I didnt want to drop off, but for some reason I can only set a max number of those at 8.
I've never had network performance issues, its always there, works solid and never drops out, just a whole device will disappear and it takes a router reset to jumble ip's up again and its assigned a new one
Pretty much what I'm trying to avoid But if everyone agrees its necessary Ill bite the bullet
