I replaced my Netgear Orbi mesh Wi-Fi system with a UniFi network after discovering a problem most home routers never mention: a hidden device limit.

As smart homes grow, it's surprisingly easy to hit 100+ devices: cameras, smart lights, thermostats, TVs, speakers, and more. When that happens, many consumer routers start behaving strangely.

In this video I walk through:

• The invisible device limits most consumer routers have
• Why smart homes push Wi-Fi networks harder than expected
• The issues I started seeing with my Orbi system
• Why I decided to switch to a UniFi setup
• Whether upgrading to "prosumer" networking is actually worth it

If your smart home has ever had random devices go offline, lights disconnecting, cameras dropping out, or apps showing "device unavailable," your Wi-Fi network might be hitting similar limits.

I'm curious — how many devices are connected to your home network right now?
