Could be a lot of things. 15 devices on an inexpensive wifi router *should* work, but if they are pulling a lot of data and you have interference from random noisy things (or even neighbors - I have 18x 802.11G hotspots that show up at my house, and I am not in apartments, etc (aka, not in high density housing). Only about 7 houses within range), it may very well cause issues.
I was having some massive channel fights with my neighbors until I upgraded to N. Less of them have that, plus it is a smaller transmit area and broader frequency range, so less conflicts. Your mileage may vary. -Steve On Aug 3, 2012, at 12:24 PM, Robert Merrill wrote: > > > On Aug 3, 2012, at 12:12 PM, AJ ONeal <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Since the last time I bought a WRT54G-TM > > Hijacking thread: > > This reminds me.
