With the advent of network technology that has enabled us to have very fast data flows and that has raised the experience of surfing the internet a couple of years ago, we have received many other benefits as users. One of them is connecting several devices to the Internet, which we will talk about in the following lines.
It has long been a novelty that in one house or apartment with more members, we have more technological devices, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops or desktops, but also TVs - which have become smarter over time and whose more advanced use is based on internet connection .
Moreover, an increasing number of users today decide to buy a package of stable and fast internet, preferably the "optical" one, so that all family members can use their devices and consume content on the web stably and quickly.

Logistics of connecting multiple devices to the Internet
In this case, we need to pay a little more attention to the technical details related to the network load by connecting more devices (especially for more demanding users). Namely, the first thing to keep in mind is the data flow, more precisely that the maximum flow that one device (router) delivers, in most cases, is not the best possible speed of the Internet, but it is the speed of the Wi-Fi link.
What does this actually mean in practice? Let's say one router can deliver about 30Mbps, and each of the connected devices actually draws that maximum possible speed, and the more users, the speed will be distributed differently to the user - regardless of the speed of the internet link.
What is also very important to mention is the signal strength that comes from a network device, more precisely a router that allows traffic between multiple computer networks. Depending on the configuration of the space in which people are staying, it is very important to have powerful Wi-Fi device hardware that can deliver a good enough signal over a larger area at any time.
Here we come to another important item, and that is the so-called access point. What is it really about? If you have in mind to increase the number of devices connected to the Internet, more precisely to the wireless network (either at home or at work), then it is necessary to integrate an additional Wi-Fi device, for a better access point. In this way, you will be able to reduce the load that the main router suffers, and the integration of another router or the mentioned access point, within the local network, significantly contributes to its relief.
How important is optics in this case?
The moment you set all the settings of a router that covers a certain area of the object, then you can easily connect several different devices to one Wi-Fi network, which, for example, provides data through an optical cable. And in that case, this technology contributes to ensuring the highest possible flow, so that the speeds are evenly and stably distributed to all devices.
Hence, at home, the ideal speed could be up to 40-50Mbps, which is more than enough for the uninterrupted use of more demanding operations on the web, while for business conditions, however, you should choose the strongest possible packages with higher data rates unit of time, given that one Wi-Fi network will be used by significantly more people at a given time.
Let’s say you connected two computers, one TV, and two phones in one apartment to your home network. It really seems great that each member of the household uses the internet for different purposes without any problems.
However, where can the problem occur here, if you have an unstable network? Today, almost most videos on the Internet are in 4K resolution, which in itself "pulls" a lot of data, there are also online music services, then online video services, and then, online gaming and a lot of other things.
All this would not be possible to use in real time and at the same time, if the router does not deliver high data rates in a stable connection. Moreover, we will agree that more and more users are turning to the benefits of the mentioned services, apart from just surfing the Internet.
Precisely for these reasons, optical internet cable (which is being talked about more and more) is slowly becoming a standard for ordinary users, as well as for those who today cannot imagine their work without optics without optics. Just keep in mind how many computers there are in one place - and today the Internet has become the need and basis of almost every business. Ultra-fast optical internet offers speeds of up to 1000/400 Mbps.
The development of technology and technological solutions today is so advanced that, day by day, we hear about new computers, new video resolutions, new video games, video services and other advanced solutions. All in all, as I mentioned a moment ago, it brings with it certain hardware requirements and infrastructure that will support it.
Therefore, we must be aware that something we once only dreamed of is now right at our door. And in order to enjoy everything that the Internet provides us, both business and private, then we must respond to it in a timely manner - by monitoring technological trends and their integration in our own environment.
You won’t believe it but I have a huge problem when we all log in via wifi routers in the house. My daughter listens to lectures that are live, my son does online testing, I do a lot of business through Upwork and my husband collects literature for some research and then there is a collapse of the connection, the collapse of the Internet and the collapse of my brain ... :(
