devices not in use but not connected can be connecting for app updates, email fetch, facebook notifications, etc..
Thanks bearone2. I am aware of this and we are shutting down portable devices not is use, and I am monitoring on Cox WiFi mobile app. My question is, as I am on Ultimate plan which supports 9 devices, will a 10th cause slower speeds or cause a complete connection drop? The drop is across all devices and last between 5 and 15 minutes.
if all are streaming something live, it could be an issue! do all 9 need to be used when you add the 10th?
you'll just have to try it, see how much of a drop, if any.
fwiw: i don't do auto updates on phones, laptops or pc's.
my wifi says i have 7 devices connected, 6 not connected.
ultimate 500 plan, ookla test yesterday showed 523/10 on a 2 year old android.
