After some troubleshooting, I've discovered Sky appear to be limiting my connected devices to 33. Anyone else have this issue or advice on how to resolve or increase this?
im on Sky Broadband Superfast and the router is a Sky Hub

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreI think it's higher than that. Someone on here recently quoted the device limit on the latest Sky Hub SR203 is around 128 devices (64 on 2.4ghz and 64 on 5ghz). If you do a search in the search box above and put in Device Limit you may find some relevant threads.

Thanks but I've done a quick search but didn't find anything conclusive. My hub is the SR102 and is definitely limiting my connected devices. If I disconnect one device, another unconnected device will connect. Max connections is 33 though.

Thanks for that. So the 64 limit seems to apply to the SR203 but I'm stuck with the older SR102. Seems the only way to bet a new router is to buy broadband boost which I don't require as my house Wi-Fi coverage is fine.

When the 102 was specified, designed and built no-one was expected to have 30+ IP devices at their address. That thing is basically a decade old and working to a wireless standard which was out-of-date even at the time....

You can't change this using the Sky equipment, options would be to change to a third party device or subscribe to Broadband Boost to get the latest Sky Broadband Hub - it's that device that has the limit @Daniel0210 posted a link to.

did you ever resolve this? I seem to have the same issue - I think I have around 40 devices and anything about about 32 it wont allow to connect. so much so, that i can turn off wifi on one device and then it will connect to another device that previously wasn't able to connect.
