How many devices can connect to this router before it locks up or crashes?
1872220
I've have not had any lock ups or crashes at ALL with this router. However, I currently have: - Two laptops - Three 3DS's - Two smartphones - One PS3, one Wii, one Vita - One BluRay player that can stream stuff like Netflix, Amazon, etc.. - Three tablets/eReaders - One wireless extender And probably a few other devices that I'm forgetting, all connecting wirelessly, not to mention frequent guests that show up that borrow my wireless as well with THEIR devices. I think all in all I've had about twenty devices connected wirelessly at once, no drops or lockups. It's a SOLID device. :D

The company i work for has a ddwrt based router that supports 40+ devices. And, I wouldn't consider it as nice as this device.Also, this device has the ability to become a public hotspot, with pay-per-use and everything. So I'm guessing it can handle quite a lot.

The bad news is that there is a problem with DHCP on this router, requiring frequent power cycling. The good news is that the opensource dd-wrt firmware completely solves this problem, and adds a bunch of new features to the router. You won't need to, but with the dd-wrt firmware installed you could configure the router to auto-reboot. For more info, see my review:http://www.amazon.com/review/R1GNF11WAIUPJS/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

I probably have 10 devices online at once and never have issues EXCEPT when it comes to uploading. I upload lots of large files, and every so often ... between all those devices and uploading large files - I guess I max the router out and it "disconnects itself". I turn it off, turn it back on and things are good then ... but, yeah ... unless you have a lot of devices and are uploading lots of info ... this router handles itself well!

I'm not sure. My installation is fairly simple. I have had about 10 wireless connections simultaneously with very high bandwidth and no apparent disconnects. Looking at the info it presented, it said it could support 30 connections. But it's a single UAP-Pro sustem.

I currently have 15 devices connected to the internet through this router and have not had any problems. The Genie shows all the devices connected as well as the signal strength and link rate.

We have 9 of them and these things are just awful. It could be a configuration issue, but we have had someone come in to try and fix the issue and it still drops connection fairly often. Has no DHCP server inside so your network needs one already.

1. Yes. Not sure if there is a limit, we have at least 8 VPN clients connected and all is well. I think you can run as many clients as you wish as long as you don't run out of CPU or memory. Mind you, you'll need to do a lot of reading to get a VPN going, this router supports many VPN schemes and nothing is preconfigured for you.2. Yes and yes.

We have 1 desktop,2 laptops,2 Smart TVs,2 iPhones 1 Wii console,1 DVR and a tablet in our house. Five or more of these devises are connected at any one time with no problems. The only problem we had at first was it dropping our WiFi connection but with a 15 minute call to Belkin to change 2 settings and the problem was fixed. This is a great router.

I replaced my AT&T; modem with a TP-Link and it was very easy to configure. If you don't have much experience with configuration of routers or wireless just follow the instructions. I haven't had any issues since installation and I've got around 12 devices connected to mine. Hope this helps.

I have gone through 2 of them that lasted just outside of the warranty period, so I do not consider this a good product. I switched to Asus routers, and have had better luck so far.

The latest firmware for version 9 limits the number of wireless clients to 31, possibly up from 15.http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/?model=TL-WR841N&version;=V9

I have up to 10 that may be connected at one time. I have seen no noticeable drop off at that point. If you check the technical stats it should tell you.

None the router I bought of Amazon didn't work so I bought a new 1 for 10 dollars more and it supports 5 devices

As JC said there are a lot of variables here. In a general sense mine seemed to handle 5-10 devices fairly well and was probably the best performing home router I owned. Ultimately I switched due to the difficulty of putting this router into bridge mode. It would probably be an awesome router if flashed with DD-WRT, which didn't occur to me at the time.

I've got 6 connections and no problem. The router though is not of the highest quality and Ive had issues the last couple of months. In fact Belkin did a firmware update and all across Time Warner cable the modems were not compaitable with the network for 3+ days. I'd recommend trying a different brand.

It syncs to 4 different devices. You cannot set up for more than one person on each device.

Recently purchased this router. I have 11 devices active on it - 3 wired and 8 wifi, a mixture of Windows, Linux, Android tablet, Android phones, a Squeezebox, a Roku, and networked DVD player, etc. All working fine.As far as distance - the router is in a wood kitchen cabinet and I get good signal all over the house and beyond - up to about 60 feet away.
