Re: Let APs do DHCP ?
Hi all:
Thank you all for the info.
You guys are right. I probably will be overworking the AP too much if I turn on dhcp, which could cause me to wind up with locked up APs...and have to power recycle them too much. Right now they are operating very stabily. So I guess I better hadn't ask for trouble with this dhcp stuff...lol.
My one hotel has 11 APs, and on some days there are a whole lot of users...sometimes up to about 30 to 40 different users a day.
And if a lot of them are put in just one section of the hotel, I might wind up with a bunch of users on just two or three of the APs...if the users aren't spread out throughout the hotel.
Tim, what you say sounds real good, except I have to figure how to remote past my Internet gateway router, so as to be able to look at my APs, so that I can try to see that arp table you are talking about. |

Can you put a cheap computer in the local network there. If so it would be easy to remote into it using something like UltraVNC and then you would have access to the entire network. |

1 edit | Hi robbin:
Thanks for the suggestion. At one hotel we did the computer thing, to let us remote in.
But at all our other hotels, the hotel owners are cheeeeeeap and don't want to pay for a computer to do that.
Maybe I will have to do some port forwarding in order to be able to remotely manage my APs. The APs I have don't have SNMP, which I understand makes it easier to remote into and manage.
Fortunately the internet gateway I use, constantly monitors the APs, and automatically emails me if an AP locks up, gets stolen, etc. |
