Hey, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to networking but I was wondering, will a problem occur when loads of devices are using one modem? In my case, we're using BT Infinty (if that helps), and we have quite a few devices connected using the modem BT provided us.
We have a family computer and my rig connected via ethernet and my sister's laptop via wifi and my ps3 connected wifi. These are usually the devices that will constantly connect to the internet for quite long periods of time.
We also have smaller devices; an iPod touch, iPad 2 and 2 samsung Galaxy Aces'. I'm not exactly sure whether to be worried about this, I've heard something about IP allocation but my understanding in networking is very little
One thing to note is that although all the devices uses one modem, they're not all on at the same time, usually about 3 (max) will probably use the modem at once.
Also, when should I invest in a router?
