I a real world situation never trust more than 2 or 3 devices on an
AP. <br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I have three in my house - 6 phones, two computers, three wireless
set-top boxes, etc... each of the fixed set-tops are on their own
SSID (which are part of the group - not hidden or anything), the PCs
use the 5GHz SSIDs (there are 2) and the phones go on the 2.4s that
are available... we never have connection issues. But if you try to
do 1 single SSID and put them all on at once? Death by wifi.<br clear="none">

Even my high-end gear I sell and install (Xirrus) for my day job has
limitations of 30 active users per radio without any special
configurations out of the box. A single radio *could* support 100
devices if you tune it right but you don't have that type of option
on consumer hardware, especially the free stuff you get from
Comcast.<br clear="none">

Do you have to use the Comcast radio? Can you buy your own and plug
that in instead?<br clear="none">

<div dir="ltr">I think we've whittled it down to there being too
many devices trying to be on the system. Learned the modem
will support up to 10 devices (7 realistically). Told also
that we need another "access point". I'm guessing that means a
whole 'nother modem/network. Is there any way around this?
Signal strength boosting won't help, will it?</div>
