HI,
I have a couple oldies

NAP303 and NWA1123

And a USG lite 60AX

This is for a client based wirelles network.
so I can make the open wifi go to vlan 2 and make sure they get the IPrange there

but the 192.168.x.x range is limited to 240 address ( ok 254)

But I need more and the lease on the dhcp is min 1 day.

Can i use the 172.10.x.x range ? and will that be accepted and can you tell me how

Or can I assign more vlan id s to that open network in the dashboard just one is accepted

Best regards,

JC

    Hi @_JC_

    No, the 172.10.x.x range is not a private IP address range. You can use 172.16.X.X. If you want to increase the DHCP pool size, please change your subnet mask from /24 to /23 or /22 first. Once you have changed this, you can increase the DHCP pool size.
