How many devices do you have attached to your wifi network?

iMacMart · 18 Jul 2018 at 21:27

I've just been looking at mine and I have 26 in total, ranging from phones, tablets, SkyQ, printers, network storage, laptops etc etc ....

Is this an average ....

I'd say not on here with OcUK geeks

Heh was showing 4 when I logged in to checked, dropped down to 2 when I refreshed - normally it is around 12 or so with phones and tablets and the odd other device - most of the NAS type stuff is wired in, same with most laptops when they are in use.

Usually have around 12-15 wireless and an additional 14-20 wired clients depending on who is and isn't here.

26?! How is your brain not fried

I only have 3 - my phone, printer and bedroom TV. I do have a laptop but seldom use it. Only me in the house.

I have about 10-15 at a guess. 50% of my stuff is on ethernet though.

StonedPenguin · 18 Jul 2018 at 21:39

21 items.

19 here in a one bedroom flat and only me

Between wired and wireless 50 devices at a guess.

Certainly enough that when I last used advanced IP scanner, it made me a bit paranoid wondering what a lot of them were (ended up having to do a mini audit!)

For our family of four, it's:

18 wireless (4 laptops, 5 phones, 4 tablets, 2 PCs, 2 Roku units and a printer)

5 wired (PC, Mac, HTPC, Wii U, TV Box)

Less than some here, but when I add them all up it seems an incredible amount! Doesn't seem long ago there were just two PCs plugged into a router and nothing else on the network...

Ah that makes more sense now

29 last time I checked. IoT has massively increased that number in the last 12 months. The house got kitted out with smart plugs and Amazon Echos everywhere.

1 tablet
2 phones
