How many computers can be connected to Airport Extreme?

Hi, we have some kind of medium sized network at home: currently we have about 15-20 devices (Macs, PCs and network printers) that are all connected together by a D-Link DI624+ router. However, for time to time that way too much for the router so we're continously looking forward for a new solution that can handle this amount of devices but still is cheap.
Do you have experience with Airport Extreme as a router for 15 to 20 computers/network devices getting Internet from and being controlled by it? Does it work without problems and is it reliable?
Out current router often crashes, needs restarts and sometimes looses the whole configuration when more computers are active at the same time.
Thanks a lot for you ideas!

Right from Apple's main page for the Airport Extreme.

"With the new AirPort Extreme Base Station, you and up to 50 of your friends, colleagues, or family members can enjoy a robust wireless network offering up to five times the performance and up to twice the range of networks created with the earlier 802.11g standard.2"

  • How many devices can I link to AirPort Extreme?

    How many devices can I linked to an AirPort Extreme.  It seems that whenever I have more than 3 devices (all iPhone and iPad), I can't link the fourth one.

    The answer will depend on the type of modem that you have connected to the AirPort Extreme.
    If the AirPort Extreme is connected to a simple modem, then it will act as the main router for your network. In that case, the AirPort Extreme will support up to 50 wireless devices and 150 wired Ethernet devices.
    If the AirPort Extreme is connected to a modem/router combination device....also known as a gateway.....then it is your modem/router that determines the number of devices that can connect to the network.
    If you are unsure of what type of product you might have, post back with the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem".  (We do not need a serial number for the device).

  • How many computers can you connect, how many computers can you connect

    Hi Folks I have just purchase Apple TV and was wondering if you can connect more than one computer/iTunes libarary to Apple TV. My reasoning for asking is we have a few Itunes accounts in our home so thought there was potential for others to connect their Powerbooks to the TV or is it restricted to me only.
    I look forward to your responses.

  • HT4436 how many computers can I connect to my icloud account

    I am having troubles syncing one of my computers on the icloud account, I have more then 9 devices liked to it. Is that a problem? Thanks!

    Hello. The output of the express is a 3.5mm stereo socket (like the headphone socket on an mp3 player) so to attach to a receiver you will need a "3.5mm to 2 RCA Stereo Audio Cable". This socket also doubles as a Mini-TOSLINK jack, you can probably ignore this, however if you know your receiver has a digital input you could use a Optical Mini Jack (OMJ) / TOSLINK cable, to connect digitally.

  • How many computers can I connect my iPod Touch to? Can I mix Windows computer with Mac?

    We are thinking about getting my dad an iPod touch for Christmas and preloading it with songs from our Mac. He has a Dell PC with Windows. Is it going to be a problem for him if he wants to add songs from his PC to the iPod Touch? Will he have to format the device and thus lose all of the songs we preload for him?

    iPod tuchsdoare not formated for a a Mac or PC. 
    You do not have the right/lience to give away music you purchased.
    An iPod can only sync with ene computer. To change syncing computer you have to erase the iPod and then sync to the new computer.

  • How many computers can take wireless internet from a MBP?

    Hello guys, my MBP takes the internet wiredly. Temporarily there's no router in place and my flatmates don't have internet so I've enabled the internet sharing (System Preferences>Sharing>Internet) and have seen that one computer at a single time has connected to mine. I'm just wondering now how many computers can connect, wirelessly, simultaneously to a MBP. Does anyone know?
    Thank you.
    MBP 15in 2.33GHz.   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   other 200+ posts with the old Discussion Forums (now lost)

    I am not quite sure I understand your question, but I
    think the answer you are looking for is ten.
    Generally, any wireless hot spot can support up to
    ten connections at a time. I am not sure, but I don't
    think it matters if its a dedicated wi-fi router or a
    computer that's sharing a networked connection.
    A limit of 10 is impossible as a general rule, because of all the places around the world that serve more than 10 customers with wifi from a single, generic brand access point behind the counter.
    I see from Apple's specs that the little AirPort Express does have a limit of 10, but the AirPort Extreme stations support up to 50 users. Other brands support even more.
    There is probably a low limit on the number of users that can be connected to a computer sharing Internet, and it very well could be 10 in that specific case. Apple's documentation doesn't say.

  • How many pcs can wirelessly connect to an Officejet P1102w printer

    What limits how many separate PCs can connect to an Office Jet P1102w. Is there a limit in the printer or is the limit more likely to be in the router?

    Hi KiamaraKid,
    I understand you have a Laserjet P1102W printer and are wanting to know whether there is a limit on the printer as to how many computers can connect via network, or if the limitation would be on the router's end. I will do my best to help you with this issue.
    With our HP printers wireless performance depends on physical environment and distance from the access point (router). Wireless operations are compatible with 2.4 GHz routers only as well. So the short answer is that the limitation is mainly on the router.
    If you can get back to me with the router make and model, I will certainly see what I can find for you about it's limitations (meaning, how many computers can connect successfully to the router and thus the printer).
    Hope this helps! Have a great day!

  • How many computers can be written into the access list?

    I remember the old ABS allowed pretty many computers, much over the normal amount of 20. Does anybody know how many computers can be written into the new ABSE n?

    Please be aware that MAC address filtering (access control) provides no security at all. All of the wireless traffic is sent unencrypted allowing anyone monitoring it to read your data.
    MAC address filtering ONLY prevents unlisted MAC addresses from connecting to your base station. However the MAC addresses are broadcast between connected clients and the base station. Therefore anyone monitoring your wireless traffic can learn the allowed MAC addresses. After they learn an allowed MAC address, they can clone that address and connect to your base station.

    How many computers can I install Photoshop Elements 12 on?

    No, if you mean can you copy the installed version over. That never works because PSE is a highly complex program that strews stuff all over your hard drive and you can never hope to find all the bits and bobs. You should deactivate it on the computer you no  longer need, then install from scratch on the new machine.
