Three bedroom apartment: Main router/wifi in a bedroom/office. There is also an auxiliary wifi access point in the living area.
The living-room wifi access point usually serves two iphones, a smart TV and a laptop.
The main router/wifi in the office serves the main server computer via ethernet cable, and a raspberry pi which is a UPS controller and dedicated web server also via ethernet cable.
A separate office laptop, when used, is served from the router's wifi. A wifi printer-scanner is also served from there.
The extra wifi access point in the living area is connected to the router via an Ethernet-over-Power-Lines adapter.
I used to have bandwidth problems in the living area until I added the extra wifi access point.
Occasional wifi connections are served to MP3 players, etc.
Most stuff has IP addresses allocated via a DHCP server in the router, though some pieces of equipment have reserved IP addresses, such as the printer, the main server, and the raspberry Pi.
