That seems very high to me. A family of four each has 5 devices connected at the same time?

- paxys 1y agoSmartphone, laptop, tablet, watch - that's 4 already. And this isn't just counting personal devices. Include TV, streaming stick, game console, printers, bulbs, plugs, speakers, doorbell, security cameras, thermostat and you'll hit that number pretty quick.
- MrZander 1y agoThere are 16 devices on my WiFi right now and I would've though I was above average. I have a bunch of weird stuff like 3 Raspberry Pis that most households would not have, but I don't have most of the stuff you listed. I guess I am less "connected" than the average American. Can't say I feel like I am missing out, though.
- kllrnohj 1y agoCheck your network and see how many wifi devices you have. I'm up to 60+ thanks to a handful of IoT devices, smart speakers, etc... It adds up quick.
- drob518 1y agoMost of your mobile devices are doing background tasks. It’s not typically high bandwidth stuff, but they are connected even when you aren’t using them.
- tzs 1y agoI'm single and have 11 devices on 2.4 GHz: Wireless temperature monitor Sync module for some Blink cameras 2 smart plugs Roomba 5 smart lights RPi 3 3 of the smart lights I currently don't need and and so aren't actually connected. That leaves 8 connected 2.4 GHz devices. On 5 GHz I've got 16 devices: Amazon Fire Stick iPad Printer Echo Show Apple Watch Surface Pro 4 iMac Nintendo Switch EV charger Mac Studio A smart plug Google Home Mini Echo Dot RPi 4 Kindle iPhone The iMac and the Surface Pro 4 are almost never turned on, and the printer is also most of the time. That leaves 13 regularly connected 5 GHz devices. That's a total of 21 devices usually connected on my WiFi, right what the article says is average. :-)
