They don't have a lot of traffic. I have over 40 kasa devices between switches, outlets, and bulbs with no issues.
I was under the impression that WiFi could only handle so many devices connected. 20 years ago if you got more than 10 or 20 some would start getting kicked off. Maybe that was my short router. Is that never an issue with modern routers? Even adding hundreds?
You could have shitty routers. I use unifi access points, make sure I set the channels so I don't have a lot of interference with any nearby wireless networks, and I should be able to handle a few hundred devices at once. You could also have a small DHCP scope that limits the number of devices on the whole network.
Sweet, I was a bit wary of WiFi switches but maybe I'll consider them after all
