    Hello, I am wanting to figure out what I need in a router to support a certain number of devices. In theory can I have up to 100 phones connected simultaneously to a router? And does it need to be a specific router? Will the speed still be decent for the important ones if the other 90 are...

    Trying to finish my build, Help

    I appreciate the outlook, thinking I will get the 6700. I am looking to do some audio recording and mixing this winter with it so the i7 should help me there. Just wasn't sure that cheap Mobo would be good enough for what I need. I tend to over research and be skeptical about PC parts for sure.
