How many devices can a router handle? A modern WiFi 6 or newer router handles 30, 40, even 50 connected devices without slowing down. The number printed on the box is not the limit that matters. What actually decides your experience is how many devices are active at the same time, not how many are connected.

WiFi 8 is not available to buy yet, and most headlines about it are hype. Here is what WiFi 8 (802.11bn) actually changes, when it is expected to launch, and whether you should buy WiFi 7 now or wait.
