How many devices are on your home network at any one time?


Recommended Posts

Watching the netgear liveblog got me thinking about how many devices of all types are connected to my network, so I listed them.

Wired:

TiVo box

Playstation 3

windows 7 PS3mediaserver pc

Wireless:

iPhone 4

iPad 1

iMac 27" Mid 2011

Airport Express (for remote speakers)

Another Windows 7 laptop

another iPhone 4

a MacBook Pro

A Samsung Galaxy Ace

A HP AirPrint Printer

These are all the devices that can be connected and in use at any one time, which brings my total to 12 devices connected to my one home network (Airport Extreme base station)

I couldn't have imagined this 10 years ago. So.. how many do you have connected at any one time?
