WINDR3400V2 Limiting devices
I restarted my WINDR3400 Router and now it is limiting the number of devices to 10. if an additional device tries to log on it responds with invalid password. Thoughts?

This is wifi connections? 2,.4 GHz or 5 GHz?
Does this apply to everything above the 10 limit?
The WNDR3400 is an ancient (2010) router with old wifi technology.
It should do better than 10, but it is too old to feature in this article.

But don't expect to be able to keep piling on more and more stuff. Even if it connects your router may strain to keep it all running.
if an additional device tries to log on it responds with invalid password.
Have you told these refuseniks to forget the wifi network and rejoin from scratch? That's a common strategy when you see that message.
