I think you'll need to buy a better/newer router.  I like the TP-Link C7.

Do you mean you want to plug more devices into your router than it has ports? 
If so just look for a 5-port or 8-port desktop switch 
which all companies make, Linksys, D-Link, Netgear etc.
You use one of the ports of your router (most of them have 4 ports) and plug in 
the desktop switch and then you have those 5 or 8 
ports available (depending on which one you buy). I have a Cisco 16-port small 
business switch at my store which has 8 regular and 8 
POE ports power over ethernet, those are ports used for example if you have Ip 
phones which need the network connection but also 
require power). Often you can power POE devices with a separate adapter, but if 
you have POE ports on your router the CAD5E or CAD6 
cable provides the power for the device as well as the wired connection to your 
network

Here is one example:
NETGEAR 5-port Gigabit Desktop Switch in Metal Case - Essentials Edition (GS305)

Hi,  what solutions do people have when your router can no longer accept any 
more pods/pads/phones/etc?

A device to hook to an rj45 port/socket would be good.

Thoughts please?

Tia, BobH.

Hi

Respectfully, that really depends on how you define good advice. The

Hello Bob,

Generally speaking I strongly recommend against using any wireless provider's 
WiFi connection system.  In some cases, one may obtain 
a standalone MODEM from the provider, one without any WiFi capability.  Then, 
one can simply purchase a third-party WiFi router for 
approximately $50 and use it to setup a WiFi network.

In other situations, one may prefer to purchase both the MODEM and the WiFi 
router from a third-party retailer such as Best Buy.

In many cases, the provider does not offer a stand-alone MODEM and it may not 
be possible to obtain a third-party MODEM that is 
compatible with the wireless provider's network.  In these instances, either 
ask the provider to disable the WiFi signal on the 
MODEM and then attach a third-party router to the provider's MODEM.  Disabling 
the wireless provider's WiFi signal, on the MODEM is 
not a prerequisite to using any third-party router, however.  This is to say, 
without contacting the wireless provider, at all, one 
can simply purchase a third-party router, and attach it to the wireless 
provider's MODEM and it will work after a simple setup 
procedure.  Some people prefer to have the wireless provider's WiFi signal 
disabled in order to reduce confusion as to which WiFi 
network to select when connecting devices.  This is not really a problem, 
however, after one customizes the name of one's WiFi 
network.

The bottom line on all of this is that I strongly suggest that you purchase a 
Cisco-Linksys router from your local retailer and use 
it for your home WiFi network.  Then you can connect as many devices as you 
like without fear of being limited by your wireless 
provider.

Using a third-party, stand-alone router such as NetGear or Cisco-Linksys, also 
adds a layer of privacy from the wireless provider 
that I greatly appreciate.

You can access the setup/software configuration system on both the NetGear and 
Cisco-Linksys devices by simply entering a URL 
address from any browser connected to the router.  For example, the default URL 
for all Cisco-Linksys routers is 192.168.1.1.

Finally, in order to setup a router, without installing some kind of software, 
you will need to physically connect a computer to the 
router via an Ethernet cable.  Once you have configured the router, however, 
you can, should you choose remove that Ethernet cable 
and connect to the router, wirelessly.

I realize that this is a lot of information to absorb but the process is really 
quite simple and straight-forward.

In my opinion, I think that the benefits of setting up one's own home WiFi 
router network, as opposed to using a wireless provider's 
WiFi network, is well worth any effort.

Good Luck,

Mark

I assume Rob has a combined modem/wireless router from his provider based on 
what he says. I think it' smuch more common in a techi crowd for people to buy 
their own routers and to sometimes spend significant money for a high-end 
router. With one of them you can of course do what you want, upgrade it, change 
the password and so on, I doubt you can easily upgrade a router provided by 
your supplier. I am not sure if they are set to upgrade on their own, but doubt 
it.
At work I have at least 12 or 15 wireless devices connected to my router and 
have no issues.

Something's not right there. You're correct that some routers have a limit but 
I'm as good as certain that that's not what's happening here. Do you happen to 
know the model of your router? I'd also echo the suggestion of a firmware

The WiFi routers I've used usually have a limit of 250 devices and they were 
not that expensive, maybe $50. 

I believe I have a Linksys now, but I do not know the model number off hand.

I'd say it would have to be a very old router to have that low of a limit.

Re: WiFi ports

[Richard Turner]

The WiFi routers I've used usually have a limit of 250 devices and they were 
not that expensive, maybe $50.
I believe I have a Linksys now, but I do not know the model number off hand.
I'd say it would have to be a very old router to have that low of a limit.

You can change this to 10 if you log in to the router but it will not take 
anymore then that.

Re: WiFi ports

[Ben Mustill-Rose]

Hi

Something's not right there. You're correct that some routers have a
limit but I'm as good as certain that that's not what's happening
here. Do you happen to know the model of your router? I'd also echo
the suggestion of a firmware update.

Cheers,
Ben.

No, not done that with routers.  Sure someone suggested 6 wifi devices was set 
as a limit with some providers,  but we have 8 wifi 
hand-helds amongst us alone.  Echo now up to 4,  not sure about security 
cameras since i DON'T DEAL WITH THEM.  It's not difficult 
to see how the modern household soon gets cluttered with this stuff and so does

Re: WiFi ports

['RobH.' via VIPhone]

For clarity:  do these switches accept wifi connections?  it is an excess of 
wireless devices that is exceeding router capacity.

Thanks, BobH.

Do you mean you want to plug more devices into your router than it has ports? 
If so just look for a 5-port or 8-port desktop switch 
which all companies make, Linksys, D-Link, Netgear etc.
You use one of the ports of your router (most of them have 4 ports) and plug in 
the desktop switch and then you have those 5 or 8 
ports available (depending on which one you buy). I have a Cisco 16-port small 
business switch at my store which has 8 regular and 8 
POE ports power over ethernet, those are ports used for example if you have Ip 
phones which need the network connection but also 
require power). Often you can power POE devices with a separate adapter, but if 
you have POE ports on your router the CAD5E or CAD6 
cable provides the power for the device as well as the wired connection to your 
network

Here is one example:
NETGEAR 5-port Gigabit Desktop Switch in Metal Case - Essentials Edition (GS305)

Hi,  what solutions do people have when your router can no longer accept any 
more pods/pads/phones/etc?

A device to hook to an rj45 port/socket would be good.

Thoughts please?

Tia, BobH.

RE: WiFi ports

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Do you mean you want to plug more devices into your router than it has ports? 
If so just look for a 5-port or 8-port desktop switch which all companies make, 
Linksys, D-Link, Netgear etc.
You use one of the ports of your router (most of them have 4 ports) and plug in 
the desktop switch and then you have those 5 or 8 ports available (depending on 
which one you buy). I have a Cisco 16-port small business switch at my store 
which has 8 regular and 8 POE ports power over ethernet, those are ports used 
for example if you have Ip phones which need the network connection but also 
require power). Often you can power POE devices with a separate adapter, but if 
you have POE ports on your router the CAD5E or CAD6 cable provides the power 
for the device as well as the wired connection to your network
