Note: The recommended number of connected devices may vary by the hardware specification, software version, the router’s wireless standard, and other environmental factors like subscription bandwidth, physical obstruction, and signal interference.

For a tri-band router, like Archer C4000, the number of available connected devices goes up to 50. But in a real world scenario, to ensure a stable network environment, we recommend you and your family connect about 25 devices to a standard Wi-Fi 5 router. In the lab, a TP-Link SOHO wireless router can support more than 64 clients simultaneously. Since that’s the case, many might wonder, “how many devices can a home router handle while still providing a good online experience?” However, with the soaring number of wireless devices connecting to it, slow internet speeds and poor network performance are issues encountered with increasing frequency. Nearly everyone has a Wi-Fi router for their home.
