What's on your router?

[Rustic23]

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.

3) connects to switch

Switch (hardwire)
1) FireTV
2) linux desktop (when I get around to setting up desktop)
3) hardwire connecting to linux laptop

Wifi
1) smart plug - (remote computer power up when I travel )
2) smart plug - cat camera
3) smartphone and laptop

I thought it had to do with getting my kicks on Router 66.

 

[W2R]

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.

 

[mpeirce]

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.

 

[WestUniversity]

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...

 

[audreyh1]

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.

Ooops! It was suppose to be in Other.

No problem. Thread has been moved to “Other” by our moderator team.

[SumDay]

1 Honeywell smart thermostat
1 smart garage door opener (that thing saves our bacon on a regular basis)
1 Ring Doorbell
1 Pet camera so we can gaze upon the neurotic dog while we're out
2 FireTV sticks
2 printers (ink jet & black laser)
1 WeMo light switch
1 Amazon Show, 2 Echos, 2 Dots and one Tap (any can control wemo switch by voice)
1 iPhone
1 Samsung Phone
1 ipad
2 Google Chromebooks
1 Kindle
2 Windows laptops
1 Roomba (which alerts me when the dust bin is full or it gets stuck or lost)
1 Anova Sous Vide cooker

Nothing is hard wired - all wi-fi. I'm slightly embarrassed. But the older I get the more I appreciate the help these things offer.

 

[Z3Dreamer]

I have 26 devices on my router. More if everything is turned on. I have 2 devices that I did not see on anyone's network: 1) Acurite makes weather sensors. I have a hub on my network that connects to a weather station and 2 temperature/humidity sensors around mi casa. I can monitor all this data from outside the home. 2) Verizon does not have many cell phone towers where I live. Signal is terrible. So I have a network extender hard wired to my network. Yes, this is in lieu of Verizon spending money on a closer cell tower, but what ya gonna do?

I will look into the Anova Sous Vide, the garage door openers and DW is thinking of a Roomba.

 

[Lakedog]

Nothing - no router since I really have cut the cord. Only internet access is via my phone when acting as a hotspot.
