Set the Maximum Number of Wi-Fi Devices
You can enter the maximum number of Wi-Fi devices that are allowed to connect to the
gateway at the same time.
If your network is having performance issues, you might want to allow fewer Wi-Fi devices to
connect to your gateway at the same time, or change the maximum number of devices that can
connect to either the Main Wi-Fi or Guest Wi-Fi networks at the same time. (When Guest Wi-Fi
is turned on, the maximum number of Wi-Fi devices is shared between Main Wi-Fi and Guest
Wi-Fi.)
Note: Your gateway is factory preset to allow a maximum of 80 Wi-Fi devices.
Note: If you change the Max Wi-Fi Devices value, the Main Wi-Fi and Guest Wi-Fi values
automatically adjust to match the new total.
To set the maximum number of Wi-Fi devices:
1. On a computer or wireless device that is connected to your gateway, launch a Web
browser.
2. In the address or URL field of your browser, type http://myrouter.
3. When prompted to log in, enter admin for the user name and type the password. (The
default password is password.)
