Hello
Have had the family staying over Christmas and a few new Christmas presents that seem to be putting a real strain on my router (perhaps). Currently, looking at the router, it seems to have connections with 5 sonos players, 3 phones, 2 laptops, 2 ipads, my 3 desktops, 2 Alexa Dots and my NAS drive. These aren't concurrent, obviously, but it's quite common for a number of these to be active at once. (Edit: In fact I've just done a scan and seen 24 devices connected currently!!)
I've noticed real problems with performance - lots of dropped connections and things have been running really slowly.
I'm using a BT Homehub 5 (http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/networking-and-wi-fi/modem-routers/bt-home-hub-5-1239932/review).
Am I just being unrealistic in running all of those things? Is my router my possible weak point? Any advice appreciated!
