wifi network question

[VortecJeep]

The problem: our iphones (5 & 5s) are extremely slow when we try to surf the web on our home wifi network. Sometimes you can't get it to load a page at all. We don't have that problem when we are on other wifi networks, or on 4G. Our laptops, daughter's ipad, and blu-ray player with Netflix do not have that problem.
I've updated software on my phone, the wife's phone is still running the older version.
I am also getting ready to add a wifi security camera on the front porch.
My question is two part:
1. Do we have too many things connected to our wireless router?
2. Can I add a second wireless router to help, having some devices on router 1 and some on router 2?

No. Your router can support several dozen devices simultaneously.

Wasn't there a bug with the iPhone 5 having problems on wifi? Maybe a problem with certain encryption standards?

I just went through this had to change from (WPA ) security to (wep) no body could explain it you could also just make it a open network and see what happens just to see if that's your problem

After trying several other things I found on the web with no results, I hit the reset button on the wireless router and that has helped.

Nah just trying to help. There are several routers known to not play nice with iOS.

I've had that problem too. I unplugged my router and left it sittin a few minutes and plugged it back up. Worked wonders.

Wondering if you have looked to see if there are firmware updates available for your router? I updated mine a while ago and noticed a little less lag on page loading.
