    Limit to wireless connections on a network?


    Is there a limit to the number of connections you can have on a network? I have a laptop that only connects while using an ethernet cord. This has happened with a previous laptop and i never got that laptop to connect without using an ethernet chord. I have an actiontec router MI424WR.

    Yes there is but it is not your problem. The finite number of concurrent connections is at least 10.

Or perhaps limit the outgoing connection speed? I don't really want to limit both incoming and outgoing as Incoming is never a problem for me. Is there a way to put a speed limit or to not allow quite as many connections going out of my system (or router)? Thanks a lot in advance.:cool:
