PlusNet WiFi wont let more than about 12 devices connect.

 

Hello,

Updating my home to a "smart home".  Purchased 3 Amazon Echo devices and 5 smart plugs.  I now have to manually disconnect devices from the PlusNet wifi router beyond 12 devices.  Therefore I cannot connect the last 3 smart plugs and when we have visitors they are unable to connect to the wifi.

Regards, Graham

Hi @Grahams999tle 

 

  Therefore I cannot connect the last 3 smart plugs and when we have visitors they are unable to connect to the wifi.

Do you get any form ov error message when trying to connect these, or do they just not get any service when connected? 

 

If it's the latter, then it might just be a bandwidth issue coupled with poor wireless performance - can you take a look at these here ? 

 

Thanks, 

MoR
