The Importance of Device Capacity
Standard ISP routers often struggle when you add 20 or 30 smart devices. Upgrading to a tri-band mesh system provides more 'lanes' for traffic, ensuring that your light bulbs don't compete with your security cameras for bandwidth.

Many smart home devices only support 2.4GHz connections. If possible, create a separate SSID (network name) specifically for your IoT devices to keep your primary network clean and organized.
