Is there a limit to how many devices I can use with wifi / fibre?

We are a large household and might have 8 people connecting laptop/TV/phone to wifi / fibre at any one time. Is there a limit / recommended maximums and is it wifi/router or the internet itself that is the controlling factor?Any advice much appreciated.

Is there someway of increasing the number of devices connected?Mark39 wrote:
From memory, I believe Sky routers will permit a maximum of 16 wireless connections. The number that it's practical to connect really depends on the way they're used and your available bandwidth (broadband speed) as it will be shared between all the connected devices. If your available download broadband speed is 5Mbps, 8 connections are likely to be pretty slow.

  • TS2734 Is there a limit to how many devices I can see with one account?

    Our school district, has numerous ipads..we have set up the find my ipad on each one is there a limit to the number of IPADS i can register under one account to locate the ipads with the icloud?

    From what i've read on here that SR102 Hub is only capable of accepting 20 wireless connections(might even be lower and just 16) anymore and it can cause devices to loose connection or just not connect at all.
    There is as of yet no way around this limit with the hub( you could purchase a wireless access point or a better router to piggyback onto the hub which might help). Edit the intial number of connection i stated may be wrong so i've adjusted the figure.

  • Is there a limit to how many times you can extend a WiFi Network?

    I assume there is a limit based on the number of IPs available but is there a limit to how many times a WiFi network can be extended or is there a limit to how many Airport Extremes can talk to each other?
    I know this probably not a concern of the average home user but if you wanted to deploy these in a large building or even a very large piece of property, what's the upper limit?
    I already have 3 Airport (n) routers and I was thinking of adding two more. Will i hit a physical limit or just a point of diminishing returns?

    Can you clerify by what you mean when you say "remotes" sorry for my ignorance. but just trying to understand.
    A remote WDS node is connected to a main or base WDS node wirelessly.
    A base WDS node is connected by wire to the interenet.
    A relay WDS node relays or passes the wireless signal from a base WDS node to a remote WDS node.
    Clients connect to either the base or remote nodes. A relay node can be configured to accept connections from clients as well.
    Also This reduction in half is this a limitation be design? Is this caused by the limit in channels or is there some sort or mechanism in place? just curious.
    Think about how the remote WDS node needs to communicate with both the base station and the wireless client at the same time, so the available bandwidth is effectively halved as half is used by the remote to connect with the client and the other half is used to connect with the base node.
    It's not quite the same as two wireless clients on an individual base station as they would rarely be using the full bandwidth at the same time.

  • I have a lion server set up to host storage for time machine backups. Is there a limit to how many different computers can back up to the single server to back up. I am only backing up the users folders . The backup drive is an external Drobo with 6 TB.

    I have a lion server set up to host storage for time machine backups. Is there a limit to how many different computers can back up to the single server to back up. I am only backing up the users folders . The backup drive is an external Drobo with 6 TB. Right now it seems to back up my users all day long. I set their time machine interval to every 5 hours but it still runs all day long and is very slow. Server is on a new Mac Server mini.

    AFAIK, there is no user limit.. it is simply a question of the network load. AFP is a fairly clean protocol.. but TM is not.. it does a lot of testing of the backup.. infact your setting of 5hour gap could well make it worse.
    I would sort out the clients that are doing 100GB backups to a different backup location.. no matter how fast your network.. 100GB takes time to backup.. and over wireless forever.. it will never end.
    I guess some of these clients are on wireless?? I would separate the TM of wireless to those that are wired. No more than 4 or 5 wireless clients to a target device. Otherwise you are saturating your network with backup data. And use 5ghz.. so close by.. it is much faster than 2.4ghz and you will get much better transfer rates.

  • Is there a limit on how many times I can install my CS5?

    I own CS5 and have it installed on 2 computers. I need to upgrade my computers and am wondering if I am going to have any trouble installing CS5 onto new machines. Is there a limit on how many times I can install the program? Do I have to verify ownership first or what?

    I believe the limit on how any times an application can be installed has been removed, but, as it stands, there is no limit to the number of installations you can have... just the number of activated installations.  For what it sounds like you are doing, there is should not be an issue of hitting a limit even if there is one.
    If you are reinstalling on new machines then you probably want to deactivate the current installations before you attempt to activate on the new machines.

  • Is there a limit to how many apps we can reserve?

    Since iTunes Connect doesnt allow us to delete an app without at least one approved version. So is there any limit to how many apps we can reserve?
    Can we just check the name availability without reserving it?

    Thank you. I've been searching everywhere and I couldn't find anything the mentioned it. I appreciate the feedback!

  • Is there a limit to how many songs you can have on the offline mode?

    I am trying to get all my albums to sync with my phone and be available offline but It keeps on saying that I have selected too many tracks for the offline mode. Is there a limit to how many songs you can have?Thanks :)

    Spotify applies a limit of 3,333 tracks but everything is dependent on your phones on-board memory
    as Spotify actually copies the tracks to it so you don't need internet connection.
    My Galaxy S2 has 11 odd GB and I filled it with 1800 tracks (albeit some were 20 - 30 mins).
    Also check if you use on-board memory for photos etc. 'cos Spotify will use a lot of it.
    I have asked them to look at this and maybe give warnings about Spotify's memory usage rather
    than the number of tracks.

    Is there a limit to how many AppeTVs I can stream to simultaneously?

    Stream what? If you mean airplay then you can only send 1 video stream, audio cannot be separated. Music can be sent to different airplay enabled speakers (including those connected to ATV) within iTunes or by using remote app.

  • TOC entries: is there a limit to how many links you can have to the same htm in TOC?

    TOC entries: is there a limit to how many links you can have to the same htm in TOC? I have an HTM that requires multiple links in the TOC. Now I can't compile a CHM. I have eliminated all other possible problems...

    Hmm, that would be a new one on me, but I see new things all the time and try to always keep an open mind.
    Okay, so one way past this might be to do the following.
    Create a snippet. Copy the content of the desired page and paste into the snippet.
    Create 30 different versions of the same topic by simply placing the Snippet into each topic. Then insert the different topics into the TOC.
    You should still be able to modify the content of the topic in the single place (the snippet) and by having discrete points from the TOC, there should be no issue and synchronization should work beautifully.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Is there a limit to how many IP addresses can be allocated by an iPhone 4 for tethering?

    In order to activate 30x iPods, I had to try to tether them one by one to my iPhone 4. I would tether one, activate it, switch it off totally (my data provider only allows 1 or 2 tethers at the same time), then move on to the next one. Unfortunately, this only worked properly around 9 - 10 times. After this, although new devices would appear as tethered on the iPhone, they would not be allocated an IP address by the phone and so could not get Internet access (they reverted to APIPA addresses). I could not then tether anything else to the phone that hadn't already been joined. The only cure I found was to totally restore the iPhone.
    Is there a limit to how many IPs can be allocated by the iPhone 4?
    Are these allocations time-limited, so I can re-use addresses after a period of time without having to restore the phone?

    Are those photos or videos in your camera roll? or in shared albums or photostream?
    You can only import photos from camera roll.

  • Is there a limit to how many Podcasts you can post to iTunes

    I've been trying to post our most recent podcast to iTunes, and I haven't been able to. I've checked everything over and over and tried to repost, and have not been able to. I'm wondering if iTunes has a limit to how many podcasts you can post. Currently there are 83 podcasts that we' ve put up to iTunes. Each one is about 5-6 MB in size.
    Does anyone know if I've reached my max and need to remove old podcasts to make space for the new one?
    thanks. collintowne

    Thanks for the info. You're right. I never thought about it. That's what the whole RSS feed is all about. Telling iTunes where to get the info it needs. So iTunes doesn't store the actual files. Got it!
    I will try out that link you gave me. What I've been doing in the past to update my RSS/XML feed is just simply copy/paste the previous weeks info, update the new info, post it, and that's it. I never changed any of the information on the top part before you get to all the weekly posts. I did however for the first time attempt doing all of this on my Mac rather than use the PC that I have always done the Podcasts on and RSS feeds. So that must have caused a problem somewhere.

  • Is there a limit to how many AExp that can be streamed to at once?

    Hi Guys and Girls
    Have been looking at the Sonos system for a while now but I wonder if multiple AE would be a cheaper alternative?
    Is there a limit to how many Airport Express units can be streamed to at once? The house is quite large and I would like to have about 8 AExpress with powered speakers attached and play the same music to them all at once... I seem to remember reading somewhere that it is limited to 3 but it wasn't an Apple website and I can't find any official information regarding limits!
    Any help?

    Bob - thanks for advice.
    Back to revisiting this issue after trying to address some other things.
    I added as an html article but that didn't resolve the problem. In a browser the html renders left aligned. In DPS I am able to swipe to the previous article, but not the next. Not sure if DPS is interpreting that there is more content to the right (even though it is actually dead space beyond my 768px width target.
    From another discussion thread it seems to be a jQuery issue. Not sure if there is a jQuery function I can drop into Muse or exported files that will resolve this. I posted my question there as well, but it is an older thread.
    The other question/assumption I had was...I assume that when I add as HTML article all my interaction has to be handled in the HTML because it essentially bypasses InDesign an the ability to use DPS overlays.

  • Is there a limit to how many files bridge can view at one time?

    Our company works with high volumes of images and we would like to use Bridge to organize, search, and view these images prior to working on them in Adobe Photoshop/Premiere ETC..  Is there a limit to how many files that Bridge can handle at one time?  We have hundreds of thousands of videos and photos.

    Many have found that using more then 5000 files per folder can slow down performance but this depends on system resources (fast processor and much RAM). However Video is not always the strongest point of Bridge as it seems due to some other posts.
    And since you talk about a company, you have to be aware that Bridge is not designed nor official supported for use over a network. A dedicated DAM like Canto Cumulus or Portfolio Server might be more suitable for this tasks but they also come with a price I'm afraid.
