Son is back for the summer. Good to see him again. He is thinking about changing majors and may be going to another college which is fine by us.

Encouraging him to find a summer job though. He's been in front of the computer playing computer games since he has gotten back.

Need advice on another issue ...

We are having wireless issues and think its because of all the devices. I have a Linksys EA3500 hooked up to Comcast and typical connects are:

3 laptops
2 iPad
4 mobile phones
2 TV's
1 Alexa

I am having intermittent problems connecting to Netflix or Amazon Prime on my TV, sometimes Alexa loses connection etc. I don't think its "distance" (otherwise, I think an access point will help), I think its the no. of connections.

I've read that routers have theoretical limits that far exceed 12 devices but something is going on as the problems popped up when son got back.

Question:

I am thinking about upgrading the router anyway. What routers are you guys using with 12+ connections?
