Home WiFi

Ok so is thier a limit of how many devices connected to a home network, I cannot currently connect my echo or my thermostat to the WiFi because I have also set up another let’s say around 10 devices today. Is their a limit or is my stuff craping out?

assuming that you bought and setup the WiFi router yourself it's possible that it's just crapping out especially if all the devices are currently (somehow) using the network.

 

some ISP-provided routers may employ some sort of device limit but this is very rare.

Often the limiting factor is your dhcp if you set this up with a small scope.

Most home routers use Class C network addresses. There are 256 address. 1 is used for the router and 1 is used for a broadcast address. So that leave 254 for devices. Not that your router could support that many, but thats how many addresses you should have.
