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 the bandwidth requirement.
