The number of wireless devices is only limited by available IP addresses. That should give you up to 256 devices at any one time if you did not change/limit the IP range.

Blanco · Answer

We are running 11 devices on ours. Two computers, two smart phones, two tablets, two printers, Pogo Plug, portable Hard Drive and our Smart TV.

Hawkeye · Answer

not sure what you mean - the number of devices camping onto the wifi can be really high. I don't know the theoretical or practical limits.

there are three different carriers, or channels available: 5GHz, 2.4GHz (both named roughly the same thing), and a guest 2.4GHz channel that you can either enable or disable.

Actually, the wired specification is not limited to four devices. Even though there are only four ports, switches can be added to increase the number of wired devices. Since the typical Class C subnet configuration has 254 usable IP addresses, the router could support the theoretical limit would be 254 wired and wireless devices (including the gateway IP address of the router and reconfiguring DHCP to lease the remaining 253 IP addresses.

You can connect 4 Ethernet connections and endless, W-Fi as long as the range in your DHCP address pool supports it, out of the box its preconfigured for 100 minus one for router itself. The USB port can be used for a USB hub, so you can have USB connected devices to it as many as your hub supports. My USB port on the router I bought failed within 20 minutes. I'm returning mine a day after I bought it for a different model later.
