How many connections can you have on a home modem?

Question

I am having problem setting up a wireless connection for the Asus eee, is it because i have to much computers on my wireless connection? I know how to set up wireless ports and fix most of the problems but when i enter my modem at 192.168.1 it tells me that i only have 5 connections and it bumps my PSP off the list. all the wire connections are fine that stay there, but i try to sign my psp back in my laptop is bumped off. if i have both on the laptop cant see the network at all.

Answer 1

wireless routers can handle up to 253 different IP's through  DHCP, also make sure there isnt "Maximum DHCP Users" setting,

i currently have 5 PC's 1 PDA, and 1 PS3 connected w/o any probs

Answer 2

If it is using DHCP, make sure to change the number of IP addresses available to a higher number.  Without knowing more details that is  all I can think of.  It could be that your modem only allows that many.  Contact your ISP to fix it.

Answer 3

Obviously, your router can only handle four connexions. Get a new router.
