Routers Today

What do you consider a device? I have a TON of “devices” though most don’t actively use resources, and I really don’t consider them a device as much as another item on the network. Things like TP Link Switches, ESP32 modules measuring temp / RH / CO2. I’ll still consider the few Raspberry Pi’s running Octoprint for the 3D printers to be devices because they are actively serving up updates in Octoprint.

If they are all devices, there’s 52 “Devices” on my network. Its crazy how its not just a few computers on your LAN now. Cameras, Switches, ESP32s, Raspberry Pi’s for Octoprint and Home Assistant, Google Home Mini speakers, the TV, Tablets, Phones. I am sure I am forgetting something…
