OK so I have sky fibre broadband and it has always been fine and the most reliable we have tried in our area. However, since adding smart home devices we have run into the problem of the 16 device limit on the router. Now that we have added some smart bulbs and plugs, added to the WiFi printer, multiple tablets and phones and games consoles in the family we keep finding that devices Keep getting kicked off the network or failing to connect. So how do I fix this?
Considering that technology is only going to advance I don’t think just don’t have as many devices is an option. So is there a way to increase the device limit on my router? Can I replace the Sky router and booster (because the sky signal only reaches half of our home without the booster) with another router? How would I set that up? I’ve heard about the possibility of creating an access point for the smart home devices but I don’t know how to do that either. I’m reasonably tech savvy but I have never done these things so looking for ideas and guidance please!
