We need to use up to 8 devices at once occasionally in our home, will this router cover that?
2008014
I have four computers, nine tablets, one Fire Stick and two cell phones connected and it works great.
2008015
So Can i plug this onto my Comcast modem? Also running on 50MBPS, can i watch netflix, Hulu, and still game online without netflix and hulu stopping?

Wireless there should be no problem. There are are also 4 ports to connect wired devices.
2008017
Yes. I am currently running nearly twice that on it, concurrently, with no issues.

I have 4 laptops, two tablets, and three phones all connected to wireless. The router can handle more connections but where your limitations lie are in the speed and throughput of your internet connection. If you are trying to stream video or game on all 8 devices at once on a 2mbps line, that is not going to work well. So yes the router can connect all your devices but make sure your provider plan can support the throughput.

Yes... easily. At any given time I have a dozen laptops, phones and tablets connected, as well as three DirecTV receivers, XBOX, Wii and a wireless surveillance camera.

That should be no problem. I have 15 to 20 devices connected with no problems. This assumes wireless and not wired. It has 4 ports for wired connections although you should be able to expand that with a switch (which I also have).

I've used these routers at events with over 100 devices connected and used concurrently.

Yes it can be used as an additional extension. From what I've read you can add as many as you want. You could have one in each room. Just pair them to the one you have on your router.

I assume that you could if you know how to properly cascade your routers. You would have to use the second router as a wireless access point.

No, this is a 'switch' which splits the signal from your router to multiple wired devices...

Yes. I had four. One connected to router. Then one for three separate rooms.

You can have as many as you want connected throughout your house. I do not. I only have two.But, certainly you can.As for performance, well, since these are not 'switching' devices, any traffic on it, has to share the bandwidth available. And depending on location, electrical and other things, each one's bandwidth may vary just by its location. Having said that, mine run at 33Mbps, slow compared to 500Mbps advertised, but I can tell that I have not seen any problems with bandwidth. I run Netflix, Xbox and 2 computers through my second router location and it all works just fine! You can have as many as you want connected throughout your house. I do not.

I doubt if it will work as each unit only has 4 addresses, ie: 1 thru 4. So if you want to have 8 stations, you'll have 2 of each address

The Answer to this question is.....DEPENDS.....did you run a telephone cable to the other rooms? If yes, then the answer is Yes. If no, then the answer is no.It handle up to 4 incoming lines then you may distribute as you see fit using the other 6 ports.

My bet is no. Not consistently. You're better off to put in a series of access points, or, depending on the number of units, power-over-ethernet (D-Link calls it Powerline AV). IF you're going the PowerLine route, make sure you don't get the minis because they're limited compared to the other series which is actually addressable through a web browser. Short of going REAL Cisco, I don't think there is a single wireless router that will handle an 'enormous' house. Despite what D-Link says.

The DHCP server part of this router issues out IP's from .1 to .254, so theoretically you could attach 254 devices to this device. Though I wouldn't recommend it, your speeds would drop to 1900 baud rate modem speeds with that many devices connected. keep in mind, the total bandwidth is shared out among the devices connected. So the more devices connected the slower the connection speeds for each.

It is said 8 devices can be paired at the same time. And only one can be connected. You can't use it with two devices at the same time.

YES! We dropped our internet service and all we need is this clear Spot Voyager you are going to love it. It will support up to 8 devices at a time. We use it for 2 laptops, iPad and iphone it's super fast internet connection. Enjoy I hope you buy it we love it!

Yes. You can use multiple extenders in the same house. Each must be able to connect to the primary router.
1372989
Yes. You can have up to 4 devices paired at any time. The is also a "primary" device in case more than one is trying to connect to avoid device contention.

If you can centralize this router in your home, you can get adequate coverage. I ended up buying a second WD router, ran Ethernet from the first router to the second, and set the second router up as an access point. I have both routers on each end of my home for full coverage.

As many wireless devices as you want. As long as they are within range, shouldn't be a problem.

So would I be able to connect this to a wired router and connect mutiple devices to it?
