As far as multi-device usage... Do I have to disconnect any connected device before I can connect another? I have 4 different devices.

You do - disconnect one and reconnect another. Process akin to using one Apple wireless keyboard with several iDevices.

Yes, I purchased this for my friend and he loves it. We have paired up to three devices simultaneously and had no problems.

You are supposed to be able to add multiple devices. I only have a single device, but the IOS software allows for multiple.

Hi. On a regular basis, I have 3 smartphones, 3 i-pod touch's, 2 ROKU sticks, 1 chromecast, and 3 laptops hooked up and have no problems. It has more to do with your internet speed (I have 30 Mbps). I would recommend this.

Mine overheated constantly, I wouldn't recommend it if you'll have more than 3 or 4 devices connected to it.Infact I wouldn't recommend it at all.

It doen't support multi connection. It will only work with one paired device at a time.

You can output to 2 devices. But it can only have 1 input going to those 2 devices at a time.

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.

I don't know how many can connect at the same time. I seen about 4 connecting. I have 12 set up.

Hi Jamie,I've paired mine with multiple devices, but each time I turn it on, it grabs the most recently connected device (assuming that device is available). To switch devices, I either turn bluetooth off on the currently connected device and the second device usually grabs the cube fish. Does that answer your question?

Yes, more than one device can be connected. Please email support@satechi.com for further assistance. Thank you, Satechi Technical Support

I can't give you a definite answer as I have never tried to use the one I have with seven devices but I can tell you what I do know about it. First it depends on whether you mean hard-wired or wirelessly. It only has four wired ports so from that point of view it can only handle four devices. But as a wireless router, although I don't really know what the limit is I don't see why it couldn't handle many devices at once. For example it could assign more than 250 IP addresses on a sub net. E.g. 192.168.2.xxx where xxx could be from 2 to 254 (reserving 1 for the router itself. These could be either manually entered or DHCP could be used. Although with that many devices things might be rather slow. As I say, I've never had that many on at one time, but I have had four with no problems. I hope this answer is some help.

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!

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.

You can connect as many devices as you have. The biggest question would be how many of those are using it at the same time. This is where the higher bandwidth (cable, fiber, etc..) handle it better. I personally have my Xbox, computer, Nook HD tablet, and three of our cell phones connected to this all the time and my speeds are wonderful. And I am only using the lower band. If the router is decently close to your devices make sure and connect them to the 5 Ghz band. .. you will notice the difference. All in all it has been the best router I have used yet for the money.

I have tried this and it is not possible from just slaving it to your phone. I believe there is software to manage multiple, simultaneous pairing, but from a phone, if two (or more) are turned on (and paired) only 1 shall play until that one is disconnected, then the other will work. But not simultaneously. If you do figure out how to get them to simultaneously play from one device, I would love to know how! Good luck!
