Attempting To Connect Tablet - Access Point Temporarily Full

I'm attempting to re-connect an Android tablet but it won't connect and I'm receiving the message Access Point Temporarily Full. It's a tablet that has previously been connected OK and even earlier today was working OK. Does anyone have any suggestions please?

That's caused by the router failing to allocate an IP address.
What make/model of router are you using ?

It's a Plusnet router but I can't see a model number on it.

A quick Google and it looks like it's a Hub Zero. It looks like this.

Ah! How many other devices do you have connected ?
I believe the Hub Zero has a limit on the number of devices , 12 rings a bell but I'm not sure...

In total, quite a few, 12 or more could be possible, but actually in use at the moment, probably about six or seven that I'm aware of - three mobile phones, two laptops, a printer and the tablet that we're trying to re-connect. I'm going to try switching some of them off now to see if that helps.

It may take the router a while to lose the DHCP allocation for a device that you turn off, so you may not be able to connect another immediately

I don't know if/where the control is on a Hub Zero, I would guess in the advanced network setings but presumably selecting 'Renew Lease' (assuming it has the option) would clear out the unused stuff?

@CymruToon - almost certainly due to the hardware limitation on number of devices a Hub Zero will allow you to associate simultaneously.
I've arranged dispatch of a more recent router that should resolve the issue.

Thank you everyone for your help. Switching off some devices did work but hopefully the new router will be a better solution. Thatnks again.
