A Little Fuzzy

[timlab55]

When growing up, 1 + 1 = 2 and not 22. Where does this lead me? Will, I've got a router that can only handle 25 devices (ASUS). I also have 5 more IP CCTV cameras that I need to add to this router to make it work. So how can I do it?

Where does this 25 device limit come from?

Adding context to this goofy thread:

Too many devices to handle?

I currently have the GS-AX5400 ASUS router. I think I have more devices that it can handle. So which way should I go?

That's the router I put away for a wifi 6/7 and wish I didn't. It states that it can handle up to 25 devices. But with the extra devices I have now, how can I add them? and still have the router not drop the ball on me or misplace devices that should be there?

It states that it can handle up to 25 devices.

Where does it state this?

how can I add them?

You mean “join the WiFi network” or “plug into a LAN port”? What other “add” step are you referring to?

and still have the router not drop the ball on me or misplace devices that should be there

This is gibberish. Routers don’t drop balls or misplace things. Wireless connections might drop, router might reboot, processes might crash. You should describe what actually happens and is visible in the router’s system log when it happens if you want useful help or advice.

There was a write up about this router on this fourm. My setup is that what ever router I do get, I have to put it behind my ATT gateway (IP passthrough). I have (in my house), 7 PC's, 1 tablet, 3 Smart TV's, and 2 phones. My house is 70' long (double wide), with 2 CCTV camera's on it. Then I have an Ethnet cable running from my house to my Barn. Then on my car port I have 7 CCTV cameras on it and 3 on my barn. Then I also have a DVR (using old CCTV) about 33 cameras. So what type of setup would you get?
