I've always used a built in modem with my wifi router, and I've never faced this issue.
ISPs always want to upsell, hence, they propagate the fact that 5 devices or more will lead to frequent disconnections. Buy a decent modem/router, and you will not face any such problems.
I've been using a Netgear modem+wifi router since almost 7-8 years now, and nowadays I have 10-14 devices connected to it, without any problems.
Yes, it is obvious, as we connect more devices to it, the speed is likely to wane because it is being shared amongst them all.
