Legit Reviews

My poll is that I would like to know how many people on Legit Reviews has any idea what a home network is and how do you use it. Please list all devices that are on your home network.

i have 7 devices. in my house there are 4 of us and there are:
3 PC
2 Xbox
2 Smartphones
That is the max all on at once but usually just 3 pc's and 1 smart phone

I have

3 computers, two wireless, one hard wired
i-pad 2
blue-ray player
3d tv
Tomorrow I will have my a/v receiver on the network

edit: Natasha says the i-pad 2 is not part of the network. It is connected thru wi-fi. I guess a lot of my stuff works that way, so I really don't know.

2 HTPCS
1 File Server
1 Gaming PC
1 AMD Fusion PC in the Gym
2 Smarts phones
3 Laptops
1 VoIP Adapter
1 Wireless Printer
1 360 (never gets used)
1 Wii (also never gets used)
1 Kindle

and coming soon 1 TrixBox

Wife commented that this setup is pretty ridiculous for two people. I beg to differ and wonder what she would say if I took one of the HTPCs out.

let's see

3 Towers
1 Media Box
2 Netbooks
2 Laptops
1 iPad
