        Other half has two phones, one laptop and one tablet.

        Step daughters here have at least one phone, one tablet, one laptop, one Xbox and one Smart TV each.

        I also have an Xbox and a Smart TV.

        All these can and do connect to Wifi and all are able to open a web page.
        Wifey has a laptop and a phone. So that makes 5 total. The Sky box connects to the internet for downloads and remote recording, but can't open a web page. Both our TVs are non-smart (annoyingly they are both still working after about 15 years, and cost too much to justify replacing them for the sake of being able to play Youtube videos on a big screen).

          I'd have to buy a new sim card (the old larger size) but I suppose one would work. The other has a smashed screen. That makes 6, at a push.

            You can just about line up a nano SIM to fit, or make yourself a converter out of cardboard (see YouTube). Won't they connect to WiFi?

                    I do also have a smart washing machine, but I'm not connecting that to the Internet in case there's a plot for a SkyNet washing machine singularity.

                      Not certain this list is exhaustive, but from what I can remember:
                      1. Old Toshiba laptop running Windows XP SP2
                      2. MacBook (white)
                      3. Older MacBook Air
                      4. Newer MacBook Air
                      5. iMac
                      6. iPhone 3GS
                      7. iPhone 6
                      8. Whatever the really old phone with Opera Mini is
                      9. iPad 2
                      10. iPad Pro
                      11. Samsung UHD TV
                      12. Old Blu-ray player
                      13. UHD Blu-ray player
                      14. ZX Spectrum Next (might need to write a browser for it, or maybe port curl and just read the source code of websites, but it has a TCP/IP stack)
                      15. An HP Pocket PC thing running Windows Mobile 2003 (IIRC)


                      So 15. And there’s probably some other things knocking around that I’ve forgotten about.
