kineticman Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 For the fun of it, count how many devices you have in your house connected to wifi/home network? I counted 12 my house (counting cell phones of course). Btw totally cool use of my old Evo was converting it to a security cam with web server in my garage. Have IPcamera app on my current phone to monitor it - use it all the time to answer 'did I close the garage?' Edit - 8 connected to wifi, 4 on Ethernet.

digiblur Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Just phones, laptops, tablets in my home. Any devices that are wired get a gigabit wired connection. Wire is too cheap to run inside the walls to have to deal with the headaches of wifi. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how many total on network then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanK_ Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Depending on when my sister is home, I will have up to 7 to 10 devices on WiFi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richy Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 hmm 1 Wireless bridge (bluray and desktop connected to it) 3 phones 3 tablets 2 printers 2 desktops 1 laptop 2 psp's (intermittently) I'm waiting till black friday to pickup a new router (plus probably a new bridge and maybe an extender) Not everything on that list is turned on all the time, but the wifi also gets used by family when they come over as cell receptions is poor in some parts of the house. I probably need to get a hammer out and add some wire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiblur Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Damn. And my wife says I have a problem.

At least with a USAA account, they offer a decent rebate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with a USAA account, they offer a decent rebate. Adt uses Honeywell panels. Adt finds every way they can to get around the regulations and charge you 10 times what you should be paying for the services. About 30% of my work is fixing an Adt screwup. Back on topic, I forgot about a Kindle fire and a galaxy tab 2. And soon to be a xbox one and ps4 witch means I'll need another gigabit switch.

david279 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I also have two routers used together, One is the main and the other is a extender in bridge mode. Connected together using Directv DECA's(moca networking) . Sent from my One using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordsutch Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Currently 5 wireless (2 phones, 2 tablets, 1 MacBook) although I could fire up some more devices if I felt like it. I'm guessing I have about 18 total IP devices plus my router that get regular use. Encrypted MoCA between the rooms - once you go MoCA, you won't go back unless you tear out the walls and put in Cat 6 (which I think my landlord would frown on). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at tons of systems and prices and I don't care about names or how it looks just how it works and ADT was the winner as well for me. Love the Pulse setup especially after they fixed the issues they had with the rules you set for automation. My favorite but simple one is when the alarm is armed at night the indoor motion turns on the lamp in the living room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite but simple one is when the alarm is armed at night the indoor motion turns on the lamp in the living room. It does work pretty well for being a pretty basic all in one system. I looked into Creston and Control4 but my wife was way overwhelmed by those systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
