What's on your router?
This came up in the Cord Cutting thread, so I thought I would start this..
I have a TPLink router. I have a printer and NAS hard wired to the router. I have three Kasa switches and four Kasa plugs via wifi. I have four Mi plusg by wifi. At any given time there are three Roku's, two computers, one laptop, two phones, and two tablets connected to the wifi. I believe one of the Rokus may be wired, I switch back and fourth. There is also another router that goes to a guest house, there is a Roku hooked up to it, and several other devices from time to time.
Edit: Forgot there are three IP cameras hooked up by wifi also.

What's on your router?
A buncha stuff.
Honestly I wouldn't know where to start. Computer, Kindle, iPad, phone, TV's, scads of video game consoles, my washer, and probably three times that number of things that have slipped my mind. Plus, F has my router login info (and vice versa) in case something goes wrong and we can't get online using our own system. Living right next door to each other does have its advantages.
To continue, my refrigerator, thermostat, and door locks are not online and I don't have Alexa or a "smart" house in general.

Too many to list.
Only four items hard wired right now: an iMac, a TiVo, a Tablo, and an Apple TV.
Wireless has over 30 items. A couple of interesting ones include a Rachio irrigation system, and the bathroom floor heater.

According to my device manager on my router software, there are 14 devices currently connected to our router. Looking at the list is see however that our WEMO devices are not included in that list. We have seven WEMO switches in addition to the 14 mentioned...

Two Apple TVs, a security camera, and two printers are directly connected. All computers (many) and iOS devices (also many) are connected via WiFi. We have several convenient jacks for direct connection to the router but rarely use them.
