I am considering migrating to FIOS and I spoke to a rep on the phone and he told me that there was a limit of 11 devices that could be connected to the wireless router. When I started asking questions about it he got snappy and wanted to get back to the sales script.
Could someone provide info on what limitations exist on connectivity? Is it a hard limit requiring all devices to be registered? Is it a simultaneous limit?
Can I add my own wireless router to get around the issue?
Thanks in advance
I believe you received bad info. The following is from the Actiontec website.
- Is there a limit to the number of Wireless connections, that the Actiontec Wireless Router or Modem will allow?
There is no limit on the number of wireless connections, but there is a limit to the amount of traffic or bandwidth that can pass through the Actiontec. It is good to keep in mind that each computer added to the network will reduce the bandwidth available to the existing network computers. It is recommended to limit the number of connections to 45, but this number can vary depending on the activities of the network computers. For example, downloading MP3s, ISOs, or other large files, require much more bandwidth than checking email or simple Web browsing.
