[Southwest] So. Cal ~20-25 devices connected to network

The Westell is the best router I have ever owned, Rock solid and have never had a capacity issue with it.

20-25 devices really isn't that much. Most recent consumer routers should be able to handle it. The part that really matters is how many connections each device will make concurrently.

The Westells also have a large NAT table, so it should be fine.

That is part of the concern. 3 of the devices are Xbox 360's and 3 of them are computers that kids game on.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. If you arn't having any issues with your current router then I see no reason to replace it unless you're upgrading it for features you need.

The 9100EM is capable of handling that many devices plus more and as always it's all about how they are used. 20 devices all running torrents is going to be different than 20 devices that surf the web and check email.

So currently there are times when we have to kick users off and reset the router to get web pages to pull up. I am going to contact Verizon to see if I can get a revision "I" of the router to make sure I have the latest one.

Sounds like you have to many people torrenting using all the available bandwidth.

Changing the router likely won't change anything, I have never once seen the Westell run out of resources for NAT.
