How many wireless devices do you own?

Nick · Jun 5, 2014

I just put a new router in my house (An Asus AC66R). I'm sort of a nerd with this stuff but it's been a while since I replaced a router and Ican't believe how much wireless stuff I've accumulated.

The router lists out 21 things connected to it.

- 2 thermostats
- 3 IP cameras
- 2 laptops
- 1 tablet
- 2 phones
- 1 desktop
- 1 music system
- 1 NAS device
- 1 wifi TV
- 2 chromecasts
- PS3
- PS4
- Roku
- Printer
- Dish Hopper

Kinda crazy how much stuff is now looped in. I'd imagine this number will keep going up and up as everything starts getting connected to the Internet.

... wifi skis?

how much do you guys have on your networks?

Yeah I know. Nerd.

Not too much.

3 laptops,
1-2 iPhones depending on who's in the house,
2 iPods,
2 Kindle HDs,
2 Bluray players

Very little

2 laptops
2 cell phones

I have a bluray player I could hook up, but I don't really have an interest in doing so.

I'm in the same boat...I don't do a ton of wireless.
2 cell phones
2 laptops
Blu-Ray (not hooked up for wireless)
Bluetooth speaker I play off my phone
Router + Modem
Printer (but again not configured to the laptop as we don't do much printing at home)

2 cellphones
2 TVs
1 Bluray player
1 iPad
1 Kindle

We have AT&T U-Verse, and 2 of the boxes are wireless.

So, not all that much, really.

Cannonball · Jun 5, 2014

Not a ton, but kind of a stupid amount considering there is only 2 of us in the house:

4 laptops
4 phones
2 iPads
1 chromecast
1 printer

4 thermostats
1 printer
1 desktop

Feel like I'm forgetting stuff.

Cool. Old school! So you type out all of your AZ posts from a hardwired desktop?

The original question is turning out to be more revealing than I could have guessed.

dlague · Jun 6, 2014

5 Laptops
4 Smart Phones
2 Gaming consoles
3 Cable Boxes
1 Printer
1 Tablet
2 Kindles
1 TV

bvibert · Jun 6, 2014

4-5 phones
5-6 tablets
3 laptops

I think that's it for us, my wife, 2 kids, and I. My sister-in-law watches are kids during the day, which can add a phone and/or tablet on some days.

I also have a Chromecast that I don't really need, which is good because it broke. There is a Blu-ray player and PS3 on the network, but they're hardwired, not wireless.

Yes

I do have to correct myself though. I have several wireless phone extensions in the house hooked up to a land line connection, they do need to be plugged in to recharge. I personally do not own a cell phone or similar device. I'm just counting myself. My wife & daughter have numerous wireless devices. When I'm out of the house there is no way to get in touch with me. This is a good thing.

bigbog · Jun 6, 2014

Wireless, with some things is great....
Just a few outdoor cameras...luv em'...
Have always seen the need for a smartphone and maybe the laptop sometime in the future, but not yet..;-)

Warp Daddy · Jun 6, 2014

Modem
router
2 ipads
2 cells

1 smart tv
