| How many devices can I connect to my HUAWEI router? |
The maximum number of connectable wired devices depends on the number of LAN ports on the router. The maximum number of connectable wireless devices depends on the router's Wi-Fi chipset. The actual number of connections is subject to the actual environment.
Use a network cable to connect a switch to the LAN port (or a WAN/LAN port if the port is auto-adaptive) to allow more wired connections, as devices can connect to the switch to wiredly access the Internet. (For details about how to connect devices to the switch, refer to the user guide of the switch.) In this way, a maximum of 253 devices can access the Internet.

Taking HUAWEI WiFi AX2 as an example. The router has three network ports, subtract one network port for connecting to the Internet. Therefore, a maximum of two devices can be connected wiredly to the network port for Internet access. The same rule applies to other products. For details, see the actual number of network ports. |

Non-auto-adaptive port |
The number of connectable wired devices depends on the number of LAN ports on the router. Taking HUAWEI WiFi Mesh as an example. The router has three LAN ports. Therefore, a maximum of three devices can be connected wiredly to the LAN port for Internet access. The same rule applies to other products. For details, see the actual number of LAN ports. |
