2 laptops, 2 Smart TVs, and 1 iPad.. But no room for her wifi printer.. So, they had to choose one of their devices to disconnect, so we could install the printer.

This is just something to think about, especially when you consider how many more of our devices are becoming network-able.. lights, thermostats, electrical plugs, etc.

I guess you always use Bluetooth. Any 5 devices "at a time" can use the hotspot. How many times would they be using both laptops, 2 smart TVs, the iPad and the printer all at the same time? I have a Samsung Smart TV and I find that I almost never use the Internet capability. As a matter of fact I took the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter off the TV and threw it in the desk drawer about a month ago. I guess I would say that if you are going to be a big Netflix user you probably should use Comcast unlimited.
