With the development of intelligent hardware, many friends have more and more devices to be networked at home, especially catering, and some may be as high as hundreds. The choice of router is also very important when the broadband size is appropriate.

The number of devices that a router can connect at the same time is called the carrying capacity of the router.

There are usually the following factors that affect the number of WiFi wireless carriers in wireless routers:

The first influencing factor is memory. Too low memory will greatly reduce the number of wireless routers. Generally, more than 32M memory is basically no longer a bottleneck. Nowadays, with the upgrading of wireless routers, many domestic routers started with 64M memory, and wireless routers with 128M, 256M or even 1G or more appeared.

The second factor is wireless chips, and the throughput of different models of wireless chips is different. Generally speaking, Qualcomm's AR series chips are the strongest, and their wireless performance far exceeds other chip schemes, followed by Broadcom's BCM series chips and MediaTek's MTK chips. Because MTK is cheaper than AR chips in Qualcomm, it is mostly used in home wireless routers. MTK scheme has the largest market share of wireless routers and a large number of third-party firmware.

The third factor is the principle of wireless communication, which adopts collision avoidance mechanism. Although many routers adopt MIMO technology, data concurrency cannot be infinitely high. After exceeding a certain limit, the wireless device network gets stuck, the webpage opens slowly, and the settings are disconnected.

The fourth factor is firmware. In addition to the above factors, it is also related to the firmware of wireless routers, which is one of the reasons why many people brush routers. On the premise of not changing the hardware, the capacity and data throughput of the wireless router are improved by brushing in the third-party firmware, thus improving the performance of the wireless router.

In addition, the heat dissipation of wireless routers is also related. When the data flow of wireless router is large, the calorific value will increase greatly, and the performance will decrease after the temperature rises. At this time, the performance of the router can be improved by improving heat dissipation and reducing temperature. The above aspects will affect the capacity of wireless routers.

Recommend a 360WiFi6 whole house router I used, with gigabit routing, suitable for villa types, with a maximum of 256 sets, which is very suitable for catering or users with large equipment. The price is within 400 yuan, which is more cost-effective than other brands of whole-house routers.
