How many do you need it to? WiFi usually is good depending on how far from the device you are and how much bandwidth you need your devices to pull. If you're expecting to have, let's say 5 personal devices that streams, it will let you connect.... but then... how fast is your link to your provider... if you're paying 20Mbits then you might be stretching it... but if you've got 100Mbits then it'd be fine. But if you have "accessories" im sure you can connect 15, 20 probably even 25 no problem, as long as it doesnt pull much bandwidth. Hope this helps.

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.

The short answer is: no you don't but your current router must support either 802.11g or 802.11n wireless protocol.

I double checked the router and the manufacturer website specs for this router and it doesn't appear to support the 802.11b protocol, but check your device manufacturer's website you may be able to upgrade the device with a firmware download. the router is worth the hassle for the range and reliability alone. I'm running 2 hardwired and 6 wireless devices with no less than 4 devices online at a given time with no signal or speed degradation

Dear Mr. Jesse, This is greeting from Loftek Direct. Yes, it can. But it can only support 4-5 devices at the same time. Thank you.

I've had 6 connected. The network map page has a pagination widget but I've never had enough devices to start a second page. So I'm guessing it can support a lot more than 6.

Yes. Buy this thing you will never look back, I have three of them and it is the only router I am going to buy from here forward. each port can be configured for LAN or WAN interfaces. You can plug multiple wireless dongles into the thing. You can prioritize each connection. Share bandwidth between connections. place data limits on each dongle. AND Cradle Point keeps their firmware current to ensure the compatible devices cover the market and are pretty up to date. I have noticed once a new device is released cradle point adds it to their supported device list within a month or two.

I would limit to 2 as you are essentially daisy chaining off your source router. They will tell you can't or shouldn't but I have multiple appletv, roku, sonos, etc and these ports work great.

Our household has 7 People and the following devices: 4 apple laptops, 2 I-pads, 3 Intel/windows based NetBooks, 4 Intel based computers and a few I-phones and none of us have had issue's using this router. And the newer tablets are supposed to automatically connect using the 5GHZ band, which none of us have newer products that use this band....yet.Hope this helps.

Just one. It is just modem and don't have router compatibility. You will have to buy additional router to have WiFi.

You can use or two. I used two for two additional locations. Ended up sending everything back though. My cable is too old and has too much inteferance for really high speeds. My wifi did better.

I have a similar setup working, but instead of using the ethernet connection on the modem, which most only have one, I use two ethernet connections on the back of the wireless router. One goes to a swich which drives 3 components and the other goes across to the opposite side of my house to a second switch driving 4 components. I am running computers, PS3, Wii, and 2 internet TV's with improved streaming speed and reliability than wireless.

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.

yes there are multiple outputs, but I would just use it as the wireless router it was intended to be.after looking at the one posted I have a different unit

254 without touching the settings. I think I cut it down to fifty, I'm not sure why. Realisticly, 11 devices have been connected in the last day.

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

Yes, I connected one adapter to my main wireless router downstairs. I then connected another adapter to another router upstairs to a secondary wireless router upstairs. I had good results with expanding my wireless coverage in my house.
