Multiple devices cannot connect to a TP LINK wireless TD-W8968 router
I've got a TP LINK wireless router, model TD-W8968. When we have lots of devices in the house (10 - 15, made up of laptops, iPhones, iPads etc.) we find that some devices can't connect to the network.
Things work normally most of the time but when someone comes round with extra devices we start getting problems.
I've tried making extra wireless networks (a feature that TP LINK offers) but that still gives the same problems.
How do we go about narrowing this down or solving the problem?

Probably you have hit the maximum number of connected devices, check on the router manual, it should be stated here

I can suggest that you change do a different channel, and if possible for each network make the difference for channels between them more.
The next step will be to get a router with higher capacity.
